If I Die Young

If I Die Young - Sabrina (Sabrina Orial)

Written by：Kimberly Perry

If I die young

Bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh

Uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you

When she stands under my colors oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be no

Ain't even grey but she buries her baby

The sharp knife

Of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

If I die young

Bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife

Of a short life well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white

When I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger I've

Never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice

When he was holding my hand there's a

Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts

Oh no I'll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh uh oh

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them oh

The sharp knife of a short life well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls
