《Jeannie’s Afraid of the Dark》歌词

[00:00:00] Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark - Dolly Parton

[00:00:11] Her two little feet would come running into

[00:00:16] Our bedroom almost every night

[00:00:21] Her soft little face would be wet from her tears

[00:00:26] And her little heart pounding with fright

[00:00:31] She'd hold out her arms then she'd climb in beside us

[00:00:36] In her small voice we'd hear her remark

[00:00:42] Mommie and daddy can I sleep here with you

[00:00:47] Because Jeannie's afraid of the dark

[00:00:52] One day in the summer we took some flowers

[00:00:57] To place on some old family graves

[00:01:02] Jeannie said mommy is it dark in the ground

[00:01:07] Oh Daddy I'd be so afraid

[00:01:12] Then she looked up at her daddy and me

[00:01:17] And said something that broke both our hearts

[00:01:22] She said when I die please don't bury me

[00:01:27] Because Jeannie's afraid of the dark

[00:01:39] Jeannie was always afraid of the dark

[00:01:42] And we never could understand why

[00:01:46] Because we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care

[00:01:51] Because Jeannie was our only child

[00:01:57] Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of

[00:02:02] Because it took her one dark stormy night

[00:02:06] I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown

[00:02:12] Because it seemed she was destined to die

[00:02:17] But on Jeannie's grave we placed an eternal flame

[00:02:22] That glows and never loses its spark

[00:02:26] And on the darkest night there's always a light

[00:02:31] Because Jeannie's afraid of the dark

[00:02:36] Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
