If I Die

(album: Jade Bird - 2019)

If I die, put me in a song
Tell everyone how in love I've been
If I die, put me in a song
So I'll live on in your melody
If the day comes where I am gone
Let me go and be happy
And if you're sad then make up a tune
That I can live through, and you'll carry

If I die, don't put me in stars
I'm never that far away from you
Put me in words, not hallelujahs
They come from the heart and they'll ring true

If I don't awake from my sleep
Know that I'm free in glory
And I'm okay with who I've been
So there's no need to be mourning

If I die, don't put me in stars
I'm never that far away from you
Put me in words, not hallelujahs
They come from the heart and they'll ring true

As a cold breath of air
As a feeling everywhere
As an angel, as a breeze
You will always have me
As a cold breath of air
As a feeling everywhere
As an angel, as a breeze
You will always have me

If I die, put me in a song
A beautiful one that plays on and on
If I die, tell everyone
That I'm not gone, I'm just watching, just watching

If I die, don't put me in stars
I'm never that far away from you
Put me in words, not hallelujahs
Words come from the heart and they'll stay true

If I die, put me in a song
Tell everyone how in love I've been
