Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark - Philomena Begley/Ray Lynam[00:00:00]
Her two little feet would come running into [00:00:10]
Our bedroom almost every night [00:00:15]
Her soft little face would be wet from her tears [00:00:20]
And her little heart pounding with fright [00:00:25]
She'd hold out her arms then she'd climb in beside us [00:00:30]
In her small voice we'd hear her remark [00:00:35]
"Mommie and Daddy can I sleep here with you [00:00:40]
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark" [00:00:45]
One day in the summer we took some flowers [00:00:50]
To place on some old family graves [00:00:55]
Jeannie said "Mommy ain't it dark in the ground [00:01:01]
Oh Daddy I'd be so afraid" [00:01:05]
Then she looked up at her daddy and me [00:01:11]
And said somethin' that broke both our hearts [00:01:15]
She said "When I die please don't bury me [00:01:20]
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark" [00:01:25]
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark [00:01:36]
And we never could understand why [00:01:40]
'Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care [00:01:44]
Because Jeannie was our only child [00:01:49]
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of [00:01:54]
'Cause it took her one dark stormy night [00:01:59]
I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown [00:02:04]
'Cause it seemed she was destined to die [00:02:09]
But on Jeannie's grave we placed an eternal flame [00:02:14]
That glows and never loses its spark [00:02:19]
And on the darkest night there's always a light [00:02:24]
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark[00:02:29]
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark[00:02:34]
