Sam Tsui - If I Die Young (Cover)

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
Uh-oh uh-oh

Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
When she stand under my colors

Oh, and life ain't always what you think
It oughta be, no ain't even great
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 felt in love with the one
But it sure felt nice
When I held you in the sun
And you, you took my hand
Said love me forever
Who would have thought
Forever could me severed
By the sharp knife
Of a short life
Well I've had just enough time

Ooohhh
If I die young

A penny for my thoughts
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more
After I'm a gonner

And maybe then you'll hear
The words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead
How people start to 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

Uh-oh(uh-oh)
The ballad of a dove
Uh-oh (uh-oh)
Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears
Keep them in your pocket
Save them for a time
When you're really gonna need them, ooh

The sharp knife, of a short life
