《Jeannie’s Afraid of the Dark》歌词

[00:00:00] Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark - Philomena Begley/Ray Lynam

[00:00:10] Her two little feet would come running into

[00:00:15] Our bedroom almost every night

[00:00:19] Her soft little face would be wet from her tears

[00:00:24] And her little heart pounding with fright

[00:00:29] She'd hold out her arms then she'd climb in beside us

[00:00:34] In her small voice we'd hear her remark

[00:00:39] Sing mommy and daddy can I sleep here with you

[00:00:44] Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark

[00:00:49] One day in the summer we took some flowers

[00:00:54] To place on some old family graves

[00:00:59] Jeannie said mommy ain't it dark in the ground

[00:01:03] Oh daddy I'd be so afraid

[00:01:09] Then she looked up at her daddy and me

[00:01:13] And said something that broke both our hearts

[00:01:18] She said when I die please don't bury me

[00:01:23] Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark

[00:01:35] Jeannie was always afraid of the dark

[00:01:39] And we never could understand why

[00:01:43] Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care

[00:01:47] Because Jeannie was our only child

[00:01:51] Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of

[00:01:56] Cause it took her one dark stormy night

[00:02:00] I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown

[00:02:05] Cause it seemed she was destined to die

[00:02:10] But on Jeannie's grave we placed an eternal flame

[00:02:15] That glows and never loses its spark

[00:02:20] And on the darkest night there's always a light

[00:02:25] Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark

[00:02:29] Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
