"Only The Good Die Young"
(As recorded by Billy Joel)
BILLY JOEL
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late, aw
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one.
Well they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away, aw
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Well only the good die young, that's what I said
Only the good die young, only the good die young.
You might'a heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud, aw
But that never hurt no one.
So come on Virginia, show me a sign
Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darlin' only the good die young, woah woah woah woah woah woah
I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul, mmm and a cross of gold
Well Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me, when you were counting on your rosary
Oh woah woah, and they say there's a heaven for those who'll wait
And some say it's better, but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young, woah baby
I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young
Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation, aw
She never cared for me, but did she ever say a prayer for me?
Woah woah woah, come out, come out, Virginia don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
You know that only the good die young
Tell ya baby
You know that only the good die young, only the good die young
Only the good, only the good die young
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Only the good die young, only the good die young.
She felt like the most beautiful woman in the world today, and nobody was going to ruin that. It had been five years ago on this exact day that Mara had met him, her true love and her supposed enemy then. And now she was truly going to be his as he was going to be hers' for the rest of their lives.
She adjusted her long white dress for the last time before it was her part in the ceremony. Mara slipped her arm into Anakin's, who had been kind enough to give her away since her own father wanted nothing to do with her now. After all, he was soon to be her legal father anyway.
She smiled nervously as she walked to the pace of the music down the long, carpeted, isle. Her dress was backless, revealing the three tattoos that had merged into one story of her life. On her right shoulder was the Sith fairy, and on her left was the Jedi angel. And then in the middle of the two was her newest form of body art, the most important of the three. In the middle was the fairy of life, her long silver hair entwined with pink roses that caught onto her long emerald dress. This was the symbol of both and neither of the groups, which was what she really was.
Finally, she snapped out of her reverie as they approached the minister and her groom. Han stood beside Luke, serving as his best man who was also currently flirting with Leia. Mara hugged Anakin briefly before he turned away to sit beside Padme. Luke clasped her hands in his own, his eyes never leaving hers' as the minister went through the sermon. Finally, he told them both to present the rings, and Mara turned to Leia to claim the ring she had gotten for Luke.
Both slipped the rings onto the other's finger, waiting impatiently for the finality.
" And by the power invested in me by the planet of Coruscant, you may kiss the bride."
That was all Luke needed before he grinned foolishly and swept her up into his arms and kissing her senseless. Applause and whistles rang throughout the church and the bells chimed merrily in the courtyard, telling the galaxy of their love.
A/N: OMG! I finished it. I am so crying right now. This blasted story took me so long! I am already working on the sequel to this called "Birth Right". It will be about their daughter and the trials she faces. I love all of you that have stuck with me through this and your patience.
Love-
