Kimberly Perry - If I Die Young Pt. 2

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I've had time to bloom
Plantin' them roses instead and
I'm changin' my tune
From when I said

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
The sharp knife of a short life, now I know there's no
Such thing as enough time

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I've had time to bloom
Plantin' them roses instead and
I'm changin' my tune
From when I said

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
The sharp knife of a short life, now I know there's no
Such thing as enough time, oh, oh

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
The sharp knife of a short life, now I know there's no
Such thing as enough time

[Outro]
So put on your best, boys
And I'll wear my pearls
