歌曲歌詞
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 her small voice
We'd hear her remark
Mommie 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 somethin' that broke both our hearts
She said
When I die please don't bury me
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark
And we never could understand why
'Cause we looked after
Jeannie with the very best of care
Because Jeannie was our only child
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of
'Cause it took her one dark stormy night
I think we always knew
That we'd never see Jeannie grown
