"Hey Casey, how you doing?" Gabriela Dawson said as she walked up to her grieving best friend and hugged him.
"Hey Dawson, yeah I'm getting there. I'll see you tomorrow." he said, brushing past her.
"Come down to Molly's. We have something special to show you." she said before walking out of Firehouse 51.
1800 hours-Molly's
"Hey Dawson, her photo looks great." Hermann said as he walked up to the bar.
"Yeah it does doesn't it." she replied sitting next to him and spinning on her chair.
"What do you want to show me Dawson?" Casey asked as he walked through the door.
"This." she said showing him the tribute table for Hallie.
"You didn't have to." he replied turning to face her.
"Yeah I did. I also have something else to show you." she said, walking up to the microphone on the stage. "Can I have quiet please? Thanks. As you know we are all here to celebrate the life of Hallie. So I have the perfect song for her. Hope you like it Casey."
The music starts for If I Die Young by The Band Perry.
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
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, oh 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, oh well
I've had just enough time
"Did you know she could sing?" the boys asked at the same time.
"Yup." Shay replied swallowing down her shot of vodka.
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 holdin' 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, oh well?
I've had just enough time
"She is amazing." Casey said, looking up in awe at the woman he loves.
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 'em 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
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, oh well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.
By the end of the song everyone was in tears. Casey walked up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Thankyou so much Gabby. I love you." he said kissing her.
The End!
