DOLLY PARTON - Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark lyrics

rate me

Her two little feet would come running into<br>Our bedroom almost every night<br>Her soft little face would be wet from her tears<br>And her little heart pounding with fright<br>She'd hold out her arms, then she'd climb in beside us<br>In her small voice, we'd hear her remark<br>Mommie and daddy, can I sleep here with you<br>'cause jeannie's afraid of the dark<br>One day in the summer, we took some flowers<br>To place on some old family graves<br>Jeannie said, mommy, ain't it dark in the ground<br>Oh, daddy, I'd be so afraid<br>Then she looked up at her daddy and me<br>And said somethin' that broke both our hearts<br>She said, when I die, please don't bury me<br>'cause jeannie's afraid of the dark<br><br>Jeannie was always afraid of the dark<br>And we never could understand why<br>'cause we looked after jeannie with the very best of care<br>Because jeannie was our only child<br>Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of<br>'cause it took her one dark stormy night<br>I think we always knew that we'd never see jeannie grown<br>'cause it seemed she was destined to die<br>But on jeannie's grave, we placed an eternal flame<br>That glows and never loses it's spark<br>And on the darkest night, there's always a light<br>'cause jeannie's afraid of the dark<br><br>Our jeannie's afraid of the dark
