    Lyrics:
    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 known the lovin' 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, 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
    Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
    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, well
    I've had just enough time
    So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

    My 12 y/o daughter is obsessed with this song. I finally took the time to listen to it all the way through, with the lyrics. I went as far as to watch the video of how the song came about. Since my daughter lost a dear friend less than a year ago, I'm sure it has a lot of meaning to her. It's a beautiful song, but as a mother, it makes me cry.

    When we hear this song, we think of someone that died, someone that was young, someone that was loved and cared for. Let this song bring peace to those who have recently suffered a loss.

    the first time i heard this song i automatically fell inlove with this song. its such a wonderful song with tons of meanings within it. as i read the other post on this video, i see that this song has a lot of meaning to a lot of people out here. although i have never experienced a lost like you guys i can honestly understand the meanings and thoughts and feelings in this song

  • @Starsfallinginmyhair
    @Starsfallinginmyhair Před 13 lety +1

    EVERYTIME I hear this song it just grabs my heart & I lose it. I fell in love when I first heard it &now it has so much more meaning since my sister passed away on 8-20-10. She was only 18yrs old & not only did she leave us behind but also her 9 month baby. Nothing that happened is right & I miss her more & more as the days go by. We could've been closer & thats all I was waiting for was the chance & now she's gone & I'll never get it. I miss you & love you so much Kaila. Fly high Angel! We

    i totally love this song! I've lost many friends along the way (not death thank goodness), but this is why I try to live my life as much as I can. You never know when God chooses your time, so enjoy life as much as you can- even if you don't die young. :)

    very sad song. My father just passed about 6 months ago. Make you think a lot about life and how short it really is. I esp. Love the part when she says funny how when your dead people start listing. That is so true. I used to blow off and ignore what my father was telling me about life, school, ect... now I try to remember all he had ever said.

    I have always loved this song, but recently I had forgotten about it. Then for a field trip, my band class went to The Alabama Music Hall of Fame, and we went to the recording studio. My friend Ashley is quiet, but she has a beautiful voice. The place plays your recording of your cover of a song through the whole place as you sing. Ashley actually went up and sang this, and it sounded just like this. I swear it was amazing.

    To everyone out there that has a heart. please message me and attach a video. My niece was born Saturday, November 23 and is in an incubator with a small possibility of getting out anytime soon. Please send me songs that would be good for my sister to lift her spirit and to think positively about this. I love this little girl with all my heart and she is so precious to her mom. Please, if you have a heart, inbox me some songs. Thank you! Have a blessed day!

    to those who have loved and lost
    it is their memory that keeps us going on
    for we will see them at long last
    as long as we remember what they stood for
    even when they are gone.
    We will say goodbye but never forget
    the road to meet them is as memorable as it is long.
