Daylight
Daylight, or the light of day, is the combination of all direct and indirect sunlight during the daytime. This includes direct sunlight, diffuse sky radiation, and (often) both of these reflected from the Earth and terrestrial objects. Sunlight scattered or reflected from objects in outer space (that is, beyond the Earth's atmosphere) is not generally considered daylight. Thus, moonlight is never considered daylight, despite being "indirect sunlight". Daytime is the period of time each day when daylight occurs. Daylight happens because the earth rotates and either side the sun shines on is considered daylight.
Definition
Daylight is present at a particular location, to some degree, whenever the sun is above the horizon at that location. (This is true for slightly more than 50% of the Earth at any given time. For an explanation of why it is not exactly half, see here). However, the outdoor illuminance can vary from 120,000 lux for direct sunlight at noon, which may cause eye pain, to less than 5 lux for thick storm clouds with the sun at the horizon (even <1 lux for the most extreme case), which may make shadows from distant street lights visible. It may be darker under unusual circumstances such as a solar eclipse or very high levels of atmospheric smoke (See New England's Dark Day), dust, or volcanic ash.

TWILIGHT TONE
by: Manhattan TransferWith a key, you unlock a door to imagination
Beyond it is another dimension
A dimension of sight, a dimension of sound
A dimension of mind
You're moving through a land
Of both shadow and substance of things and ideas
Guiding you through this wondrous journey
Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone
When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time, ohh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning round and round
Pyramidal locomotion
From this mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision, no, ohh
Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning round and round
A signpost up ahead is calling
From this mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Submitted for your approval, one Mr. Miller
Who's about to take a trip into oddness and obsolescence
Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
Accompanying him on this journey
Is the mesmerizing aound of the twilight tone
On a cold and rainy night
One Mr. Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him play the beat, ohh
Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning round and round
Now he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight, hearin' the twilight)
