Skin (Sarabeth) (Remastered)

[Verse 1]

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 a smile

Stands at the door

And says, 'Will you please come with me?'

[Verse 2]

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 takе care of you

Six chances in ten, it won't comе 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

[Chorus]

Sarabeth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancin'

Around and around, without any cares

And her very first love is holding her close

And the soft wind is blowing her hair

[Verse 3]

Sarabeth is scared to death

As she sits, holding her mom

Says it would be a mistake

For someone to take

A girl with no hair to the prom

For just this mornin', 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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door

And her daddy ushers him in

When he takes off his cap, they all start to cry

'Cause this morning where his hair had been

Softly, she touches just skin

[Outro]

They go dancin'

Around and around, without any cares

And her very first, true love is holding her close

And for a moment, she isn't scared
