Sarah Beth

Sara 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 that just won't go away

so she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
and flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with a smile stands at the door
and says Will You Please Come with Me?

Sara 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 we're gonna try
its just been approved it's the strongest there is
and i think we caught in time
and sara beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first love
is holding her close
and the soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara 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 this morning right there on her pillow
was the cruelest of any surprise
and she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
the proof that she couldn't deny
sara beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first love
is holding her close
and the soft wind was blowing her hair

it's quarter till seven
that boy's at the door
and her daddy ushers him in
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
for a moment she isn't scared...
