Skin (Sarabeth) - 2008 Remaster

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

'Till 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 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 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 a 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 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 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 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 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
