A Perfect Day (song)

Along with "Just Awearyin' for You"[7] 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.

[citation needed] "A Perfect Day" was in the ship's songbook when RMS Titanic made its fatal maiden voyage in 1912.

[30] In 1976, American tenor, Robert White, concluded his first album with RCA Records, When You and I Were Young, Maggie, with "A Perfect Day" accompanied by pianist Samuel Sanders.

[31] "A Perfect Day" exemplifies the sentimentality popular in the late Victorian and post-Victorian era but has risen above such a sequestered view by nuances of studied reflection which, combined with the chord progressions of Jacobs-Bond's tune, have borne its appeal across time and cultural boundaries.

[32] In 1929, at Lake Arrowhead, California, with "A Perfect Day" playing on a phonograph, Jacobs-Bond's only child, Frederick Jacobs Smith, committed suicide.
