Sarah 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?"




Sarah Beth is scared to death


'Cause the doctor just told her the news


"Between the red cells and white, some thing'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 Sarah 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




Sarah 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 things, a surprise


And she cried as she gathered it into her hands

The proof that she couldn't deny and Sarah 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
