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 neighbors had a party on their porch

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 its last time through
So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak
The papers wrote about it every day for a week
They wondered where it's going and where it's been
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

D5 ...
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 nineteen eighty-six that wish came 'round ... D D A D
A A D D
It came from the east, just as bright as a torch
G D A D
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch

As heavenly sent as it was back then
