Sam Tsui - If I Die Young lyrics

rate me

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

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 fell in love with the one

But it sure felt nice when i held you in the sun

and you took my hand and said you'll love me forever

Who would have thought that 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

oh 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 your really gonna need 'em oh

The sharp knife of a short life
