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, 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?"



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

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 Sara 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



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 just 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

And Sara 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.
