(these are the lyrics to the song on my blog page sit back listen and read the lyrics... )
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
When I listened to this song I started to bawl this is seriously the best song ever and I wish that it would have came out sooner :{ I would have loved to have this song on my sister video! I love her so much and I know that she is in such a better place and so much happier... I can't wait to see her again!!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SISTER!

I love how much you still talk about her. I think that is the best way to honor someone. She was pretty awesome, and I know how much you love her!
TEARS flew when i listened! this is an amazing song and so meaningful!
You make me cry. You are lucky to have had a sister like MarShel and she is lucky to have had you:) I had never heard that song before and it's awesome.
