(mary chapin carpenter)

Late one night when the wind was still

Daddy brought the baby to the window still

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 its not every night a comet comes around

It was almost eighty years since its last time through

So I bet your mother would have said amen too

As its tailed stretched out like a stardust streak

The papers wrote about it every day for a week

You wondered where its going and where its been

When halley came to jackson in 1910

Now daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms

To dream a little dream of a comets 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 daddys 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
