Lyrics of If I Die Young by Michael Henry,Justin Robinett
chorus
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
Oh oh oh oh
verse
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
pre-chorus
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
chorus
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
pre-chorus
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
verse
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 woman
But it sure felt nice when she was holding my hand
There's a girl here in town says she'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
pre-chorus
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
bridge
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'
chorus
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
Oh oh
chorus
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
outro
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down
