Heavenly Day

Patty Griffin is a Maine born songwriter admired by other musicians, with her songs covered by the Dixie Chicks, Emmylou Harris and Kelly Clarkson. Heavenly Day appeared in 2007 on her album Children Running Through and was released as a single that year. The lyric describes a day with nothing to do except be with the one you love, and the gentle mid tempo strum suits couples who want warmth rather than drama. Griffin has said she wrote it about her dog, not a partner, which does not bother the thousands of couples who have danced to it; the sentiment of a single untroubled day works just as well for a wedding.
