Late one night when the wind was still

Daddy brought the baby to the window sill

To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky

The one and only time daddy saw it fly

It came from the east just as bright as a torch

The neighbors had a party on their porch

Daddy rocked the baby mother said Amen

When Halley came to visit in 1910

Now back then Jackson was a real small town

And it s not every night a comet comes around

It was almost eighty years since it's last time through

So I bet your mother would have said amen too

As it's tailed stretched out like a stardust streak

The papers wrote about it every day for a week

You wondered where it s going and where it s been

When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

Now daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms

To dream a little dream of a comet s charms

And he made a little wish as she slept so sound

In 1986 that wish came round

It came from the east just as bright as a torch

She saw it in the sky from her daddy s porch

As heavenly sent as it was back then

When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

And late one night when the wind was still
