The day is when the sun is out and time to be outside or have a celebration. Everyone has their special day – their birthday. However, I just want to celebrate the day of just being alive.

Everyone wakes up from sleep and starts a new day. It is up to you to choose the day you wish to have – positive or negative.

A day can also be a measurement of a time of 24 hours.

What kind of Day will you have by our list of day songs? I put together a list of songs that have the word day in the song title.
