If I Die Young (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Chevel Shepherd

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 stands under my colours, oh and 

Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no 

Ain't even grey, 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

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

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 lovin' of a man, 

But it sure 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 just 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 people start listenin'
