A Perfect Day (song)
"A Perfect Day" (first line: "When you come to the end of a perfect day") is a parlor song written by Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1862–1946) in 1909 at the Mission Inn, Riverside, California.〔The place is indicated in a line inserted above the title on p. 3 of the high voice (soprano) edition published in 1938 by the Boston Music Company; this version is in the key of C.〕 Jacobs-Bond wrote the lyrics after watching the sun set over Mount Rubidoux from her 4th-floor room. She came up with the tune three months later while touring the Mojave Desert.〔Reublein, ("America's first great woman popular song composer" ) site.〕 For many years the Mission Inn played "A Perfect Day" on its carillon at the end of each day.〔(Mission Inn Museum Jacobs-Bond site. ) The Mission Inn maintains a (Carrie Jacobs-Bond Suite. )〕
==Popularity==
"A Perfect Day" was phenomenally successful when first published in 1910.〔When first published in 1910 by Carrie Jacobs-Bond & Son in Chicago, it came out in transcriptions for high voice (soprano, tenor) in the key of A-flat and low voice (contralto, bass) in F. A medium-voice (low soprano / high alto, baritone) transcription appeared later, in the key of G. Publication information and the sheet music (including notes and lyrics) are part of the Lester S. Levy Collection of the Johns Hopkins University Peabody Institute, online at (Johns Hopkins University site ) (accessed 2009 September 03).〕 Eight million copies of the sheet music and five million recordings sold within a year;〔(Library of Congress Jacobs-Bond site. )〕 25 million copies of the sheet music sold during Jacobs-Bond's lifetime, and many millions of recordings circulated as various artists performed the song on the fast-growing means of audio duplication.〔 ''Cf.'' (Jacobs-Bond on Answers.com. )〕 It was her most-requested number when Jacobs-Bond entertained the soldiers at U.S. Army camps in Europe during World War I. The popularity of "A Perfect Day" became so rampant that even Jacobs-Bond indicated in her autobiography that she had "tired" of hearing it. Along with "Just Awearyin' for You"〔For which Frank Lebby Stanton wrote the lyrics.〕 and "I Love You Truly"—both published in 1901 as part of the collection ''Seven Songs as Unpretentious as the Wild Rose''—"A Perfect Day" augmented Jacobs-Bond's career as the first woman who made a living from composing.〔See the sources in the articles on "I Love You Truly" and Carrie Jacobs-Bond. Peggy DePuydt appropriated the song title for her biography of Jacobs-Bond—''A Perfect Day: Carrie Jacobs-Bond, the Million-Dollar Woman'' (New York: Golden Book Publisher, 2003), 334 pp., ISBN 1-58898-915-1, ISBN 978-1-58898-915-4. The copyright expired in 1963 ((Information on the Inetgiant site ) accessed 2010 February 10).〕
"A Perfect Day" was in the ship's songbook when RMS ''Titanic'' made its fatal maiden voyage in 1912.〔 "A Perfect Day" was the second item in the book.〕
