(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 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 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 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
