Sarabeth 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 wont go away

 

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad

And flips through an old magazine

'Til the nurse with a smile stands at the door

And says "Will you please come with me?"



Sarabeth 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 wont come back again

With the therapy we're gonna try

It's just been approved it's the strongest there is

I think we caught it in time

Sarabeth closes her eyes



And she dreams she dancin' around and around

Without any cares

And her very first love

Is holding her close

And the soft wind is blowing her hair



Sarabeth 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 when she gathered it all in her hands

The proof that she couldn't deny

Sarabeth closes her eyes



And she dreams she dancin' around and around

With out any cares

And her very first love

Was holding her close

And the soft wind was blowing her hair



It's quarter to 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 dancin' around and around

Without any cares

And her very first true love

Was holding her close

And for a moment she isn't scared
