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