MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER - HALLEY CAME TO JACKSON[00:00:03]

Late one night when the wind was still[00:00:25]

Daddy brought the baby to the window sill[00:00:31]

To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky[00:00:37]

The one and only time daddy saw it fly[00:00:43]

It came from the east just as bright as a torch[00:00:49]

The neighbors had a party on their porch[00:00:52]

Daddy rocked the baby mother said "Amen"[00:00:55]

When Halley came to visit in 1910[00:00:58]

Now back then Jackson was a real small town[00:01:13]

And it’s not every night a comet comes around[00:01:19]

It was almost eighty years since it's last time through[00:01:25]

So I bet your mother would have said amen too[00:01:31]

As it's tailed stretched out like a stardust streak[00:01:37]

The papers wrote about it every day for a week[00:01:40]

You wondered where it’s going and where it’s been[00:01:43]

When Halley came to Jackson in 1910[00:01:46]

Now daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms[00:02:04]

To dream a little dream of a comet’s charms[00:02:09]

And he made a little wish as she slept so sound[00:02:15]

In 1986 that wish came ‘round[00:02:22]

It came from the east just as bright as a torch[00:02:27]

She saw it in the sky from her daddy’s porch[00:02:30]

As heavenly sent as it was back then[00:02:33]

When Halley came to Jackson in 1910[00:02:39]

And late one night when the wind was still[00:02:54]
