《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

[00:00:20] Her soft little face would be wet from her tears

[00:00:25] And her little heart pounding with fright

[00:00:30] She'd hold out her arms then she'd climb in beside us

[00:00:35] In her small voice we'd hear her remark

[00:00:40] "Mommie and Daddy can I sleep here with you

[00:00:45] 'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"

[00:00:50] One day in the summer we took some flowers

[00:00:55] To place on some old family graves

[00:01:01] Jeannie said "Mommy ain't it dark in the ground

[00:01:05] Oh Daddy I'd be so afraid"

[00:01:11] Then she looked up at her daddy and me

[00:01:15] And said somethin' that broke both our hearts

[00:01:20] She said "When I die please don't bury me

[00:01:25] 'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"

[00:01:36] Jeannie was always afraid of the dark

[00:01:40] And we never could understand why

[00:01:44] 'Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care

[00:01:49] Because Jeannie was our only child

[00:01:54] Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of

[00:01:59] 'Cause it took her one dark stormy night

[00:02:04] I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown

[00:02:09] 'Cause it seemed she was destined to die

[00:02:14] But on Jeannie's grave we placed an eternal flame

[00:02:19] That glows and never loses its spark

[00:02:24] And on the darkest night there's always a light

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

[00:02:34] Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
