40 Best Day Songs – Songs With Day in the Title
Last Updated: June 12, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
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.
