Dolly Parton - Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark Lyrics
Her two little feet would come running intoOur bedroom almost every nightHer soft little face would be wet from her tearsAnd her little heart pounding with frightShed hold out her arms, then shed climb in beside usIn her small voice, wed hear her remarkMommie and daddy, can I sleep here with youcause jeannies afraid of the darkOne day in the summer, we took some flowersTo place on some old family gravesJeannie said, mommy, aint it dark in the groundOh, daddy, Id be so afraidThen she looked up at her daddy and meAnd said somethin that broke both our heartsShe said, when I die, please dont bury mecause jeannies afraid of the darkJeannie was always afraid of the darkAnd we never could understand whycause we looked after jeannie with the very best of careBecause jeannie was our only childPerhaps it was death that she was so afraid ofcause it took her one dark stormy nightI think we always knew that wed never see jeannie growncause it seemed she was destined to dieBut on jeannies grave, we placed an eternal flameThat glows and never loses its sparkAnd on the darkest night, theres always a lightcause jeannies afraid of the darkOur jeannies afraid of the dark
