Intro 2
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 nineteen ten
Instrumental
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
Instrumental
C5 ...
Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
C5 ...
To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
C5 ...
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
C5 ...
In nineteen eighty-six 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
G G Am F [pause]
As heavenly sent as it was back then
When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten
Instrumental
Late one night when the wind was still
