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
