Skin

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
till the nurse with a smile stands at the door and says
"will you please come with me"
Sarah Beth is scared to death cuz the doctor just told her the news
"between the red cells and white somethings not right but we're gonna take care of you,
6 chances in 10 it won't come back again,
With a therpy we're gonna try,
It's just been aproved it's the strongest there is
and I think we caught it in time"
and Sarah 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 the soft wind is blowing her hair
Sarah Beth is scared to death as she sits holding her mom
cuz it would be a mistake for someone to take
a girl with no hair to the prom
oh just this morning right there on her pillow
was the cruelist of any surprise
and she cried when she gather in her hands
the proof she couldn't deny
and Sarah Beth closes her eyes
and 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
it's quarter to 7 that's boys at the door
and her daddy ushers him in
and when he takes off his cap they all start to cry
cuz this morning where his hair had been
softly she touches just skin.
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
ooooo
