Song 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, 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 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 a soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara Beth 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 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 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

Rascal Flatts are incredible artists and defenitly proved that with this song. It's such a sweet song, I mean, you hear stories with stuff like this all the time, but you never hear a song! The vocals and words in this song gave me goosebumps. I didn't cry, but I can tell you I got VERY close. What an excellent song and a great job by Rascal Flatts! <3<3<3

this song is so sad. i wanna cry whenever i hear on the radio but im in my car and i dont wanna cry with my family in there. this song to reminds me of someone, 2 ppl actually. my sisters friend who had leukimia and lost her hair. sadly she died last year at only 14 or 15. and then theres this girl that i went to school with who had some cancer and also lost her hair and she sadly died too-probably only like 7 years old. everytime i hear this song, it always touches me, although it doesnt when my uncle sings it at karoke nights cause he doesnt sing it that good, or not as good as rascal flatts. well good job rascall flatts for this beautiful and happy(at the end) song

wow, this song brings back horrible memories..
my good friend michelle got brain cancer in grade six and lost all of her hair, became skinnier than a stick, and was white as a ghost. she had to give up playing sports.. her favourite thing to do. fortunately she made it through, and shes one of the most beautiful girls i have ever seen and i dont know what i'd do without her! her mom now has breast cancer.. and we all pray for her constantly. this song is soo sad, its terrible knowing that this actually happens in real life and you never know how depressing it is until you actually go through it. this song is amazing, and if anyone says they hate it.. well they can go fuck a dog for all i care. absolutely AMAZING song.

I bought this CD the day it came out and just heard "skin" today. It is an amazing song and sends such a strong message.

I do wonder why it is a hidden track though...

I love this song!! It is sad but it tells a good story, also the first time I heard it I heard the version made for the Saint Judes Hospital and one of my closest friends little brothers was treated there. I am greatful to them for that. It is a wonderful song!

I have'nt always been a Rascal Flatts fan. I bought the "Melt" album and then wanted to get the "Feels Like Today" album. I listened to it the whole way through, and when I got to 'Skin' I cried and cried. They did a wonderful job with a song that covers such serious subject material. The song and album are both wonderful! Kudos to Rascal Flatts!

I didn't even know about this song until my friend called me and I thought the cd had ended, but then it scared me when Gary started singing again... and then I started to cry.
