If I die young

The Band Perry - If I die young

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 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 colors, oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to 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 

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 singin’ 

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’

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 

The ballad of a dove 

Go with peace and love

Gather up your 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 your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls

Niciodata nu m-am intrebat ce as face daca as muri de tanara. Bineinteles ca am avut aceste ganduri, dar de cele mai multe ori au fost indreptate spre lucuri nesemnificative: cine le va spune prietenilor mei facuti pe net ca am murit? Cine va mai scrie pe blog in locul meu? Imi va simti cineva lipsa? Ii va pasa cuiva daca eu am sa mor?

Totdeauna am avut impresia daca trec printr-un moment tragic, daca sufar un accident grav sau orice altceva iesit din comun voi fi vazuta altfel de cei din jur, mi se va mai acorda mai multa atentie iar ceilalti vor fi mai grijulie cu mine crezand ca am ramas cu sechele. Nu de putine ori am avut aceste ganduri, care acum, cand mi le amintesc, mi se pare stupide. De ce sa treci printr-un accident ca sa te faci auzita? Nu este necesar acest lucru. Daca ai vointa si caracter intotdeauna vei stii sa te faci ascultata si ii vei face pe ceilalti din jurul tau sa fie interesati. Pacat ca uneori chestiile astea nu se aplica si la mine.

Totusi, pe langa ideea mortii sugerata de melodie, versurile ei ma inspira si totdeauna ma duc cu gandul la scenarii de dragoste care se termina trist. Iubesc astfel de scenarii si intotdeauna devin nostalgica dupa ce ma gandesc la ele. 

Oricum, daca o sa mor, vreau sa mi se asterne un pat din trandafiri pe o pluta si sa fiu impinsa pe rau in jos, cantandu-mi-se versuri de dragoste in semn de adio. Love the lyrics!

Daca aveti vreodata ocaza, nu ezitati sa ascultati melodia. Mai ales iubitorii de country. Merita! <3
