Diamond Rio Asks For “One More Day (With You)”

Diamond Rio proved their country quality with their music that include electric hybrid of modern country, traditional bluegrass exemplified by their harmonized singing, and a hint of rock & roll. One of their songs that trend on the peak of their career is “One More Day.” Written by Bobby Tomberlin and Steven Dale Jones, the song was officially released in October 2000. It is the second single and at the same time title track of their album. The song gained popularity after the death of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt. For the record, the song reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With its message about losing people we love, the song became a tribute to those who passed away in September 11, 2001. The terrorist attacks that happened during that day have bruised the hearts of the society, that even this day would freshly pinch our vulnerability. The speaker in the song expresses his dis-interest on anything in this world, may it be in material or a luxury. His earnest desire is to spend even just “One More Day” with the woman he loves.

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
