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 sheburies her baby The sharp knife of a short life Oh 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 Oh well, I've had just enough time And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom As green as the ring on my little cold finger I've never known the loving of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holding 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 Oh 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 'em 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 singing Funny, when you're dead how people start listen'n 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 you're really gonna need them, The sharp knife of a short life oh Well, I've had just enough time So put on your best boys And I'll wear my pearl

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down 'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name It all just sounds like oooooh... Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize That I should've bought you flowers And held your hand Should've gave you all my hours When I had the chance Take you to every party 'Cause all you wanted to do was dance Now my baby's dancing But she's dancing with another man Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong Oh, I know I'm probably much too late To try and apologize for my mistakes But I just want you to know I hope he buys you flowers I hope he holds your hand Give you all his hours When he has the chance Take you to every party 'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance Do all the things I should have done When I was your man Do all the things I should have done When I was your man

Please don't cry: We both know I'm not what you, you need And I... will always love you I... will always love you You, ooh I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have all you've dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all this I wish you love And I... will always love you I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you I, I will always love you.
