            Diamond Rio is an American country music band. The band was founded in 1982 as an attraction for the Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee, and was originally known as the Grizzly River Boys, then the Tennessee River Boys. It was founded by Matt Davenport, Danny Gregg, and Ty Herndon, the last of whom became a solo artist in the mid-1990s. After undergoing several membership changes in its initial years, the band has consisted of the same six members since 1989: Marty Roe (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Gene Johnson (mandolin, guitar, fiddle, tenor vocals), Jimmy Olander (lead guitar, banjo), Brian Prout (drums), Dan Truman (keyboards), and Dana Williams (bass guitar, baritone vocals).
          After assuming the name Diamond Rio, the band was signed to Arista Nashville and debuted in 1991 with the single "Meet in the Middle", which made them the first band ever to send a debut single to Nº 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The band charted 32 more singles between then and 2006, including four more that reached Nº 1: "How Your Love Makes Me Feel" (1997), "One More Day"(2001), "Beautiful Mess"(2002), and "I Believe"(2003).
        Diamond Rio has recorded nine studio albums, four Greatest Hits compilations, and an album of Christmas music. Three of the band's albums have achieved RIAA platinum certification in the United States. In addition, Diamond Rio has received four Group of the Year awards from the Country Music Association, two Top Vocal Group awards from the Academy of Country Music, and one Grammy Award. The band is known for its vocal harmonies, varied instrumentation, and near-exclusive use of only its own membership on recordings instead of session musicians. Their sound was originally defined by mainstream country, bluegrass, and rock influences, but later albums drew more influence from Christian country music and country pop.
       "One More Day" is a song written by Bobby Tomberlin and Steven Dale Jones, and recorded by American country music group Diamond Rio. It was released in October 2000 as the second single and title track from their álbum One More Day, in addition to gaining popularity after the death of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart. It peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it a minor crossover hit. After falling from the charts, it received heavy recurrent rotation as a tribute to the people who died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you
 
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
 
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
 
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
 
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
 
One more day (one more day).

No baby, no baby, yeah
 
You never knew how much you hurt me, baby
You never cared how much I cried
Baby, I gave my heart to you, you just walked away
Now you've come back and now you wanna stay
 
But you're never gonna make me cry again, again
And you're never gonna break my heart again
Like you did, then
No, you're never gonna make me cry
No, you're never gonna break my heart again
 
What made you think that I'd forgive you, baby?

I don't know, but I believe
That some things are meant to be
And that you'll make a better me
Everyday I love you
I never thought that dreams came true
But you showed me that they do
You know that I learn something new
Everyday I love you
 
'cause I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul.
 
It's a touch when I feel bad
It's a smile when I get mad
All the little things I am
Everyday I love you
 
Everyday I love you more
Everyday I love you
 
'cause I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
 
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul
 
If I asked would you say yes?
Together we're the very best
I know that I am truly blessed
Everyday I love you
And I'll give you my best
Everyday I love you.

Ooh (ooh)
Nah-nah, yeah
 
I saw you dancing in a crowded room (uh)
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
 
I don't know why I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'll make you cry when I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
 
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (mm)
 
Met you once under a Pisces moon
I kept my distance 'cause I know that you
Don't like when I'm with nobody else
I couldn't help it, I put you through hell
 
I don't know why I run away (run away, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, boy, I'll make you cry when I run away (away, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 
Boy, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that it's much too late
And you deserve someone better
 
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 
I don't know why I run away (bum, bum, bum, bum, bum)
I'll make you cry when I run away (save)
 
Save your tears for another day (ooh)
Ooh, girl (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay)
I said save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day.
