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 bruises just won't go away

So she sits and see waits with her mother and dad

Flips through an old magazine

Till a the nurse with a 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

Six chances in ten it won't come back again

With the therapy were gonna try

It's just been approved

It's the strongest there is

I think we caught it in time

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 the soft wind in blowing her hair

Sarah Beth is scared to death

As she sits holding her mom

Says it would be a mistake

For someone to take

A girl with no hair to the prom

Oh, just this morning right there on her pillow

Was the coolest of any surprise

And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands

The proof that she couldn't deny

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 the soft wind is blowing her hair

It's a quarter to 7

That boy's at the door

Her daddy ushers him in

And when he takes off his cap

They all start to cry

Cuz this morning where his hair had been

Softly she touches just skin

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
