Skin (Sarabeth) Songtext
von Rascal Flatts

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
