Sarah Beth is scared to death
To here 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 she waits with her mother and dad
As she flips through an old magazine
Till 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, somethin's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
Its just been approved its the strongest there is
And I think we caught it in time

Sarah Beth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancin'
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the 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 any surprise
She cried as she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny

Sarah Beth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancin'
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 seven, that boys at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
When he takes off his cap, they all start to cry
For this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancin'
Around and around, without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment, she isn't scared
