Skin

[Verse 1] 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 won't go away So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad Flips through an old magazine Till the nurse with a smile Stands at the door And says will you please come with me [Verse 2] Sarabeth is scared to death Because 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 Sarabeth closes her eyes [Chorus] And 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 [Verse 3] Sarabeth is scared to death As she sits holding her mom Because 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] Its quarter to seven That boys 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 [Outro] 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
