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 I've had time to bloom Plantin' them roses instead and I'm changin' my tune From when I said 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, now I know there's no Such thing as enough time 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 I've had time to bloom Plantin' them roses instead and I'm changin' my tune From when I said 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, now I know there's no Such thing as enough time, oh, oh 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 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 The sharp knife of a short life, now I know there's no Such thing as enough time So put on your best, boys And I'll wear my pearls
