Lyrics

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 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 in 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 that we caught it in time

And Sara Beth 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 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 bald headed girl to the prom

For just this morning, right here 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

Chorus:

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

Bridge

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 all 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
