"Skin" 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, 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?"

Sara-beth is scared to death 'cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, somethings 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 we caught it in time
Sara-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

Sara-beth is scared to death as she sits holding her mum
'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 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

It's quarter to seven, that boys 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

And they go dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love was holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared.
