A Perfect Day by Carrie Jacobs-Bond — Lyrics
When you come to the end of a perfect day;
And you sit alone with your though
While the chimes ting out with a carol gay
For the joy that the day has brought.
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to a tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear friends have to part?

About A Perfect Day
Carrie Jacobs-Bond's A Perfect Day is a touching reflection on the meaning of a fulfilling life. Set for TTBB male voices, this English-language glee expresses a sentiment of enduring friendship and the cherished memories that remain even as a day, or a journey, draws to a close. The music captures the wistful yet ultimately optimistic mood of the text. It speaks of the comfort found in recalling happy times, suggesting that the essence of a perfect day lies in the connections we forge with others, connections whose impact far outlasts the passing of time. The piece offers a warm embrace of nostalgia and gratitude.
