America - Today's The Day Lyrics






Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way

So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

Turn me out
Turn me out on this fine day
'Cause all about
All the people like to play

So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

Oo, oo ...

Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way

So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day ...

America Today's The Day Comments
  1. T.... P....

    The most UNDER-rated band of the 70's!!

  2. D.... C....

    Their BEST song in my humble opinion that should have been a MUCH bigger hit than it was.

  3. D.... D....

    Gerry and Dewey still perform as America, but there's a hole in the soul without Dan. They remain my favorite soft rock group.

  4. T.... D....

    Oh lovely Dan Peek ! You wrote this song !! How I miss you sweet man. Gog bless your soul.

    T.... D....

    So beautiful wrote Thank you Beautiful DAN PEEK you're truly so lovely.
    Miss you so.

  5. E.... M....

    Such a beautiful song. Memories of sweeter days gone by. America was one of the greatest groups ever !!!

  6. f.... ....

    When a song from your childhood randomly and inexplicably pops into your head. And you haven’t remembered or thought about it for 43 years....The mind works in mysterious ways.

  7. M.... R....

    I woke up with this song on my mind thought I find it and play it cheer you up song love it

  8. L.... S....

    Definitely I big master piece, with a touch of nostalgic, I love this song and I always will.

  9. T.... D....

    ♥️♥️LOVELY DAN PEEK♥️♥️

  10. T.... D....

    Oh lovely Dan Peek , how I miss you. God bless your sweet soul. Love 🇺🇸♥️

  11. C.... B....

    Merica!

  12. J.... J....

    This gorgeous song somehow brings back memories that I never had!


    I first heard it on grandma's favorite infomercial a few months ago and have loved it ever since.


    Beautiful music like this is what keeps me going, no matter how bad things get.

  13. B.... W....

    This song is not on their Greatest Hits CD, "History", should be, beautiful song.

  14. T.... D....

    Awesome ! Thank you America. Thank you Dan Peek. Rip. ♥️🇺🇸

    T.... D....

    Contribution-wise, he was by far the least important member of the threesome.

  15. �.... f....

    ขอบคุณครับ

    �.... f....

    Come home to me now! 😁😁😁

  16. P.... W....

    Not their best effort, but still a nice lost classic indeed.

  17. K.... W....

    A song about Dan Peek’s beloved pet dog. Love you Dan.

  18. G.... F....

    Just found out Dan Peek, author & lead singer of this song (according to Wikipedia), died back in 2011. What a shame he never tried or wanted a reunion with Gerry and Dewey.

  19. D.... B....

    SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG

  20. W.... K....

    I always felt, even to this day, that the other two members of America were trying to oust him out of the band, about the time that this song came out.....

  21. W.... K....

    Dan Peek wrote and sang this song while he was with America...
    He was the ultimate caliber to this group !! RIP Dan....:-(

  22. f.... n....

    Love ❤️

  23. C.... P....

  33. E.... B....

    .........A TIMELESS CLASSIC.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. D.... S....

    As a youngster I was fortunate enough to grow up in a city that hosted a ton of live music. My first rock-n-roll concert as a teenager was America in the great city of Pittsburgh, at the Civic Arena, 1976. It was an amazing experience and the first of hundreds to come. From the early 70's to today, America continues to touch the hearts and souls of us all.. Thank you for sharing your talents, your music and your stories with us Dewey, Gerry and Dan (R.I.P)................

  35. P.... N....

    Dan Peek.

  36. N.... ....

    This song came-out during my junior year in high school. Brings back TONS of memories from that year, including those of the girl I had a major crush on!

  37. E.... S....

    I'm definitely glad I remember this song, especially since I haven't heard it played by any station in about 35-40 years.

  38. R.... A....

    They bring back so many memories of the good ole days of the 70's

  39. R.... H....

    One of America's best songs (and they had a lot of good ones). This should have been a bigger hit in 1978, than it was.

    R.... H....

    Excuse me....1976

    R.... H....

    R.I.P. Dan Peek!

  40. E.... B....

    Hideaway was the first album I ever bought. I was about 14 years old . And now it's on my you tube app.

  42. W.... W....

    Dan Peek - Rest in peace. You are a legion.

    W.... W....

    I think you might have meant "Legend" !!

  43. M.... M....

    Another summer of 76 favorite with Alan. I still get get misty eyed. I know what a wimp.

    M.... M....

    People had feelings back then and it was ok. No wimps. Just real people.

  44. T.... V....

    I love this song,make sad because remember good times when I was young,

    T.... V....

    Look at the back of the LP cover of "Hideaway" they are passing a joint while the snow falls around them....! lol

    T.... V....

    kinda makes me sad too, though I love the song

  57. T.... F....

    Preciosa rola a cargo del vocalista Dan Peek; las mejores fueron la de él!

  58. D.... ....

    Great song that IMO should've been as huge as their earlier hits like "A Horse With No Name", "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man" "Lonely People" and "Sister Golden Hair"

    D.... ....

    Dont forget Daisy Jane.

    D.... ....

    I say this is better than any of those, but my favorite is "Don't Cross the River."

  59. M.... o....

    I love America! I saw them live in Ancaster 10 years ago....unforgettable!

  60. n.... g....

  62. W.... W....

    You know, I heard that this song was about a lost dog that came back, and was found. Making Today, the day that the dog was found. This is an example of great songwriting. Goes to my heart, and this type of stuff is just not heard anymore.

  63. V.... f....

    The best song very beautiful

  64. E.... B....

    You hear a lot more of "Sister Golden Hair", "Ventura Highway", and "A Horse With No Name".

  65. E.... B....

    This is one song you don't hear much on the radio anymore...definitely a lost classic.

    E.... B....

    Yes indeed.

  66. j.... P....

    there was a nice "cover" of this, on the radio, around the time of it's release by America....anyone remember who did it?

  67. F.... P....

    PURE LOVE

  73. J.... D....

    Great composition and performance, made even greater by George Martin producing.

  74. T.... F....

    T.... F....

    Sadly but so ever true :'-(

  75. a.... a....

    #23 pop and#11 album George Martin production 1976

  91. R.... ....

    what happened to this group? Do they still exist?

    R.... ....

    Yeah, they're still around i believe...minus one original member who passed away many years ago. As far as i know they still tour.

    R.... ....

    America still tours w Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell and their backing band. Dan Peek left the band in 1977 and sadly passed away a few years ago. I saw the current band in concert two years ago - good show.

    R.... ....

    Yes, they perform occasionally and recently did an "oldies cruise" with other bands. They are still terrific.

    R.... ....

    they still do about 120 shows a year. OF course, Dan is gone. RIP Mr. Peek.

  92. J.... A....

    Waoooooo

  93. 7.... ....

    Love it. I wish there were more options to see America perform live in the 70s. They did so much, but there seems to be so little of them live. But please remember Music was limited on video in the 70's. The first time I ever saw America was on Burt Sugarman's midnight special back in the early 70's. Gosh I miss those days.

    7.... ....

    I miss those days too

  94. s.... b....

    Madre mia, tremenda composición de Peek, realmente admirable su sensibilidad y su poder de creacion de melodias tan monstruosamente sensibles, para cortarse las venas, realmente un genio el amigo Peek...
