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 (1)________ (2)________ the (3)__________ of a love song
(Oh oh oh oh)
Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine (4)________ 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 (5)__________ it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The (6)__________ knife of a short life, well
I've had just (7)____________ time
If I die (8)__________ bury me in satin
Lay me (9)________ on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a (10)________ song
The sharp (11)__________ of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be (12)______________ white
When I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my (13)____________ cold finger
I've (14)__________ known the loving of a man
But it (15)________ felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town says he'll (16)________ me forever
Who would have thought forever could be (17)______________ by
The sharp (18)__________ of a short life, well
I've had just (19)____________ time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I (20)__________ 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 (21)__________ then you'll hear the words I (22)________ singing
Funny (23)________ 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 (24)________ with the words of a love song
(Oh oh)
The (25)____________ of a dove
(Oh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up (26)________ tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time
When your really gonna need 'em (oh)
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on (27)________ best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
