If I Die Young by The Band Perry

If I die (1)__________ bury me in satin
Lay me (2)________ 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 (3)________ (4)________ you
When she stands (5)__________ my colors
(Oh) and
Life ain't always (6)________ you think it ought to be, no
Ain't (7)________ 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 (8)________ with the words of a (9)________ song
The sharp knife of a (10)__________ life, well
I've had just (11)____________ time
And I'll be (12)______________ white
When I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little (13)________ finger
I've (14)__________ known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice (15)________ he was holding my hand
There's a boy (16)________ in (17)________ says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The (18)__________ 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
A penny for my thoughts
Oh no I'll (19)________ them for a dollar
They're worth so (20)________ more (21)__________ I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listening

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 (22)________ the words of a love song
(Oh oh)
The ballad of a dove
(Oh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time
When your (23)____________ gonna need 'em (oh)
The sharp (24)__________ of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on (25)________ best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
