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 (1)__________ 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 (2)________ with you
When she stands under my colors
(Oh) and
Life ain't always what you (3)__________ it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The (4)__________ knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me (5)________ 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 loving of a man
But it (6)________ 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 (7)________ 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 hear the words I been singing
Funny when you're dead how (8)____________ 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 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, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time
When your really gonna need 'em (oh)
The sharp (9)__________ of a (10)__________ life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
