Porter Wagoner - Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark lyrics

Her two little feet would come rinning 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 arm then she'd climb in beside us In a 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 grave Jeannie said mommie 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 d**h 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 grow up Cause it seemed that she was destined to die But on Jeannie's grave we've placed en eternal flame That glows and never loses its spark And on the darkest night there's always a light Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
