[00:25.00]Late one night when the wind was still
[00:31.24]Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
[00:37.34]To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
[00:43.13]The one and only time Daddy saw it fly
[00:49.35]It came from the east just as bright as a torch
[00:52.11]The neighbors had a party on their porch
[00:55.17]Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen"
[00:58.18]When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten
[01:13.58]Now back then Jackson was a real small town
[01:19.11]And it's not every night a comet comes around
[01:25.01]It was almost eighty years since its last time through
[01:30.93]So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
[01:36.97]As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak
[01:40.12]The papers wrote about it every day for a week
[01:43.10]They wondered where it's going and where it's been
[01:46.13]When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
[02:03.99]Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
[02:09.53]To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
[02:15.46]And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
[02:21.64]In nineteen eighty-six that wish came around
[02:27.56]It came from the east, just as bright as a torch
[02:30.29]She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
[02:33.36]As heavenly sent as it was back then
[02:38.62]When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten
[02:54.26]Late one night when the wind was still
