IF I DIE YOUNG , PT 2
— kimberly perry
i put one hand in the air , i'm closin' my eyes
my whole heart's beatin' for the very first time
that boy here in town says, " darlin , just drive "
I swear the gates of Heaven just opened up a-wide
and lord , i'm glad you didn't pay me no attention
when i sent up a prayer of a child's premonition
cause
i've had time to bloom
plantin' them roses instead and
i'm changin my tune
from when i said ,
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
now i know there's no such thing as enough time
i'm lookin' more like my mother
i love her to the bone
i know it's gonna kill me
on the day she goes home
i'll pour some holy water
on the daughter of my own
i'll pass my name down
'fore it's on a headstone
it was so dramatic
beautiful but tragic
throwin' my emotions in a
poem 'bout a casket
but
i've had time to bloom
plantin' them roses instead and
i'm changin my tune
from when i said ,
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
now i know there's no such thing as enough time
and i'm so glad i'm here now
instead of somewhere underground
i think i'll always wanna stay
i guess it's too late anyway
to 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
now i know there's no such thing as enough time
so put on your best , boys
and i'll wear my pearls
