If I Die Young - The Band Perry
Version in American Sign Language
If I die young, bury me in 1___
Lay me down on a, bed of 2___
Sink me in the river, at 3___
Send me away with the words of a 4____ song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a 5____, I'll shine down on my 6_____
She'll know I'm 7___ with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it 8___t to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The 9___ knife of a short life, well
I've had just 10____ 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 11___, when I come into your 12____
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 holdin' my 13___,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me 14____
Who would have thought forever could be 15____ 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 16___
What I never did is done
A 17____ for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a 18___
They're 19___ so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the 20____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
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
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
