Naya Rivera - If I die Young lyrics

Text
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 well, life ain't always what you'd
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 holdin' my hand
There's a boy here in town
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
Ooh yeah, ooh woah

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've been singin'
Funny when you're dead how
People start listenin'
Oh, 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)
The ballad of a dove (Oh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
Keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em 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
