If I Die Young by The Band Perry

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 (1)__________ down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
When she stands under my colors
(Oh) and
Life ain't (2)____________ 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 (3)____________ 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 (4)__________ (5)__________ 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 (6)__________ as the ring on my little cold finger

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And (14)__________ then you'll (15)________ the (16)__________ I been singing
Funny when you're dead how (17)____________ start listening

If I die young (18)________ me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the (19)__________ at dawn
Send me away with the (20)__________ 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 (21)________ for a time
When your really gonna (22)________ 'em (oh)
The sharp knife of a (23)__________ life, well
