"Nobody's child... Mother of God! 
Jeanie's afraid of the dark..  "
Just for confirmation...
"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 her 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 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 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"

"Grace it's beautiful and sad
The green field of France a close second "
If you get a chance today listen to Finbarr Furey and Christy Dignam singing The Green Fields of France on the Late Late in 2017. Not a dry eye in the house. |
