Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark - Dolly Parton[00:00:00]
Her two little feet would come running into[00:00:11]
Our bedroom almost every night[00:00:16]
Her soft little face would be wet from her tears[00:00:21]
And her little heart pounding with fright[00:00:26]
She'd hold out her arms[00:00:31]
Then she'd climb in beside us[00:00:34]
In her small voice[00:00:37]
We'd hear her remark[00:00:38]
Mommie and Daddy can[00:00:42]
I sleep here with you[00:00:44]
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark[00:00:47]
One day in the summer we took some flowers[00:00:52]
To place on some old family graves[00:00:57]
Jeannie said[00:01:02]
Mommy ain't it dark in the ground[00:01:04]
Oh Daddy I'd be so afraid[00:01:07]
Then she looked up at her daddy and me[00:01:13]
And said somethin' that broke both our hearts[00:01:17]
She said[00:01:23]
When I die please don't bury me[00:01:24]
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark[00:01:28]
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark[00:01:40]
And we never could understand why[00:01:43]
'Cause we looked after[00:01:47]
Jeannie with the very best of care[00:01:48]
Because Jeannie was our only child[00:01:52]
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of[00:01:57]
'Cause it took her one dark stormy night[00:02:02]
I think we always knew[00:02:07]
That we'd never see Jeannie grown[00:02:09]
'Cause it seemed she was destined to die[00:02:12]
But on Jeannie's grave[00:02:18]
We placed an eternal flame[00:02:19]
That glows and never loses its spark[00:02:22]
And on the darkest night[00:02:27]
There's always a light[00:02:29]
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark[00:02:32]
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark[00:02:37]
