Sarah Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise, it just won't go away
So she sits and she waits
With her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Til the nurse with the smile
Stands at the door
And says, "will you please come with me?"
Sarah Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
"Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
6 chances in 10 it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved,
It's the strongest there is
And I think we caught it in time"
And Sarah Beth closes her eyes....
She dreams she's dancing
Around and around
Without any cares
And her very first love
Is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
Sarah Beth is scared to death
As she sits, holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the Prom
For just this morning
Right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of things, a surprise
And she cried as she gathered it into her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sarah Beth closes her eyes....
She dreams she's dancing
Around and around
Without any cares
And her very first love
Was holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
It's quarter to seven
That boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap,
They all start to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
And they go dancing
Around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love
Is holding her close
And for a moment
She isn't scared
