Serabeth 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
So she sits and she waits
With her mother and dad
And flips through and old magazine
'Til the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
and says 'Will you please come with me?'
Serabeth is scared to death
'Cuz the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Somethin'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 gonnna try
It's just been aprooved
It's the strongest there is
'N I think we've caught it in time
And Serabeth 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 blowin' her hair
Verse 2
Serabeth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
'Cuz it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
For just this morin'
Right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried as she gathered it
All in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Serabeth closes her eyes
To Chorus 1
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
'Cuz this moring where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
Chorus 2
And they go dancin'
Around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love
Is holding her close
And for a moment
She is unsca---red
