If I Die Young Lyrics:

[Intro]
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
Oh-oh, Oh-ho

[Verse 1]
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 colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

[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
Well, I've had just enough time

[Verse 2]
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 man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

[Pre-Bridge]
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

[Bridge]
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 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'

[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

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, the ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em
Oh, 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

“funny when your dead and people start listing” since i was a kid, this line stuck with me my whole life i never forget it. i’ve always realized how much that was true

[punitpatel]

"No one cares until your gone" This is true and something people don't understand.

When I was nine last day of 3rd grade I was starting the summer it was great actually. But then my mom calls me into the camper (we were camping) she sets me down and tells me my dad was dead I asked my grandma if that was true I didn’t believe it at first some say it’s shock or denial she says yes I burst into tears I couldn’t stop crying I was thinking about was the times I missed with my dad. Today my dad would be 32 I’m 12 now and can I just say we was to young no matter what anyone says it doesn’t change the fact he is gone I believe he is out there in the sky flying high with his angel wings. If it wasn’t for him I don’t think I could do the things I do. I feel I got my bravery from him. It wasn’t suicide or murder or even diseases it was drugs. I miss him everyday of my life trust me when it’s something this sad that’s a long time. He was so young he had so much to live for when all this took place. I’m not saying I have the worst life ever I’m just saying I don’t have the best. When someone says to do something with drugs, murder, suicide any of it you say no. You have family you have a life and a choice. Love them, live it, and respect it. “Message for my dad” daddy they make necklaces and stuff saying that your daughters are your angels but your mine. You will forever be in my heart I miss you everyday but I have the optimism that you are watching over me everyday. Mom says your were her epic love and that’s awesome at your memorial when they poured your ashes I bursted into tears I miss you so much. Daddy if I had more time I would spend it with you. You are loved down below, oh how loved you are. Just know you are my angel and I miss you and I love you, I may be crying during this but there a mix of happy tears and sad tears. I love you more than ever. But now you have someone with you, you have papaw you and papaw take care of each other one day we will see each other again. Love you daddy ❤️❤️❤️

Edit: I’m just going to say thank you everyone for the support I made this so long ago and it means a lot that people really do care also I want to say to everyone who told me there story god is with you and you are very strong! Keep fighting yes it might be hard and I’m sorry but it will always be hard some days harder than others but you are loved just remember that! Someone said that people don’t normally believe them and to me that awful! If people haven’t believed you before you are more than welcome to tell your story because I will believe you. Also know you have a choice you don’t have to say anything about yourself or really you don’t have to say anything at all but know no matter what I’m with you and you are just as loved! Have a great day everyone! 💛💛

[samianadir]

We lost our friend, an old batch mate two days back. What an energy he was! His intelligence, his smile, his ambitions, his dreams all died with him. He was yet to achieve his goals, he was just 21. I hope his soul rests in eternal peace. This song reminds me of him! I just pray no one in their life goes through the pain of losing your loved ones who died young.

[ms.fujoshi]

"Funny when your dead, how people start
listenin"

This words hit hard😔

[melindapemberton]

LOVE IT IT MAKES ME SAD THROUGH IT MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR IT STILL IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG.

[-sinistersleepasmr-]

Hi dear scroller <3
I'm here to say a couple words
Your skin isn't paper, don't cut it.
Your heart glass, don't shatter it.
Your life isn't a movie, don't end it.
*Your family will miss you if you leave, so look at this if you are doubting yourself!*

My daughter passed away in 2010 she was 18 years and 2 months old. I still miss her so much this song is definitely on point. She was such a beautiful and caring person. She had completed a side course in high school for Animal Care and was going to college to specialize as a veterinarian for horses and Bovine she had her whole life in front of her. This song brings her smile her giggle and her love back to life when all of the memories come rushing back

[tangerine]

It’s been a while hasn’t it.

My best friend died a couple weeks ago, my child hood friend, the one who made me keep going. She died, car crash, her mom was the only survivor out of her, her mom and her brother.

This song played at her funeral, buried with roses, and the teddy she would have gotten today, today would have been her birthday.

Rest in piece, Claire, you were loved, cared for, and the best person ever. Nobody could live up to you, not even yourself. I’m so sorry I didn’t do anything, I love you, forever.

[TheGreatCyberwolf]

I thank God that this song doesn't make me think of anyone, as I've never lost any friends or family to suicide. But that doesn't make me undermine the power behind the words, I understand how serious suicide is. For those that HAVE lost someone, I hope God has given you peace and the strength to carry on with life.

[justanothergirl]

I miss you more everyday my soul sister
You never kissed a boy
You never traveled on a plane
There was so much you wanted to do

[_m.s]

This song will always remind me of the late Naya River. So talented, beautiful, and just amazing, know that there are people standing behind you, to walk by you, and to love you. You died a hero, not only to us, but to your beautiful son, Josie. Luckiest kid ever, just to have you as a mother and a friend. You will always be missed, and we will carry our name till the end of time. Rest in peace our Santana ❤️

[siddunn]
