Текст песни
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
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
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
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
