Текст песни Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark

(Dolly Parton)

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 something that broke both our heartsPorter Wagoner - Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark - http://ru.motolyrics.com/porter-wagoner/jeannies-afraid-of-the-dark-lyrics.html
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 death 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 grown
'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...
