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 SOMETHIN'
THAT BROKE
BOTH OUR HEARTS
SHE SAID WHEN I DIE
PLEASE DON'T BURY ME
'CAUSE JEANNIE'S
AFRAID OF THE DARK
4 BAR
BREAK
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 PLACED AN
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
