_ Late one night when the wind was still
Daddy _ brought the baby to the windowsill
[B] To [E] _ see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
The _ one and only time daddy saw it fly
[B] It [E] _ [B] came from the [E] east just as [C#m] bright as a [A] torch the [E] neighbors had a [B] party on [E] their [B] porch
Daddy rocked the [C#m] baby mother [F#m] said amen [E] when Hallie came to [B] visit in [E] 1910

Now back then [A] Jackson was a real [E] small town
[A] And [E] it's not every [B] night a comet [E] comes around
[B] It [E] was almost 80 [A] years since its [E] last time through
So I bet your mother [B] would have said [E] amen to
As [B] his tail stretched [E] out like a [C#m] stardust [A] streak the [E] papers wrote about it every day for a [B] week
He wondered where it's [C#m] going and where [F#m] it's [E] been when Hallie came to Jackson in [B] 1910

[E] _ _ _ Your daddy told the baby sleeping in his arm
[A] To [E] _ dream a little dream of a comet's charm
And he made a little wish as she slept so [A] sound
[E] _ _ 1986 that a wish came well
_ [B] _ [E] [B] It came from the [E] east just as bright as a [A] torch
She [E] saw it in the [B] sky from her [E] daddy's [B] porch
