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

Till 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





Six chances in ten, 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





And 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




And 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
