SAVOIE DARCIE NOELLE MARIE January 11, 1974 - February 28, 2010 In memory of our daughter and sister, Darcie, who left us one year ago today. If I die young Bury me in satin Lay me down in a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song 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 colours 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 And I'll be wearing white when I come into our 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 holdin' my hand There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever Who would have thought forever could be servered by A 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 your thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar They're worth so much more when I'm a goner And then maybe you'll hear the words I've been singin' Funny when you're dead how people start a-listenin' 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 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 The Band Perry We Love You and Miss You So Much Give Trev a hug for us Love always Mom, Corey and Darren
