Skin Lyrics

Skin lyrics

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

and Flips through an old magazine

Til the nurse with the smile

Stands at the door

And says will you please come with me



Sarabeth 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 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

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



Sarabeth 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 cruellest of any surprise

And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands

The proof that she couldn't deny



Sarabeth 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 the 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



They go dancing around and around

Without any cares

And her very first true love is holding her close

For a moment she isn't scared...
