If I Die Young - Sam Tsui
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
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
And she stands under my colors
Oh and life ain't always
What you think it ought to be
No ain't even gray 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 have 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 man
But it sure felt nice
When I held you in the sun
And you you took my hand
Said you'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
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
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
Your really gonna need 'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life
