If I Die Young by The Band Perry

If I die young (1)________ 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 (2)________ me a rainbow
I'll (3)__________ 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 (4)__________ 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 (5)__________ of a love song
The sharp knife of a (6)__________ life, well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white
When I come into (7)________ kingdom
I'm as (8)__________ as the ring on my little cold finger
I've (9)__________ (10)__________ the loving of a man
But it (11)________ (12)________ nice when he was (13)______________ my hand
There's a boy (14)________ in town says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought (15)______________ could be (16)______________ by
The sharp knife of a (17)__________ 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 (18)________ the words I (19)________ singing
Funny when you're (20)________ how people start listening

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me (21)________ on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me (22)________ with the words of a love song
(Oh oh)
The ballad of a dove
(Oh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, (23)________ 'em in (24)________ pocket
Save them for a time
When your really gonna need 'em (oh)
The (25)__________ (26)__________ of a short life, well
I've had (27)________ (28)____________ time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
