"God Only Cries" by Diamond Rio (Tim Johnson)

1st Verse

On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They mark the shoulder with a cross
And his family gathers 'round
On a piece of hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss

Pre-Chorus

As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathize

Chorus

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living
That are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
Well, they're not grievin'
Because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than (oh)
They've ever known
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living
That are so far from home
(Yeah, they're so far from home)

2nd Verse

It still makes me sad
And I think of my grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own grandson
Will wonder why I went away

Pre-Chorus

Maybe we're not meant to understand
'Til we meet up in the promised land

(Repeat Chorus)



  "Beautiful Mess" by Diamond Rio (Sonny LeMaire/Clay Mills/Shane Minor)

1st Verse

Goin' out of my mind these days
Like I'm walkin' 'round in a haze
I can't think straight
I can't concentrate
And I need a shave

2nd Verse

I go to work, and I look tired
The boss man says 'Son, you're gonna get fired'
This ain't your style
And behind my coffee cup
I just smile

Chorus

What a beautiful mess
What a beautiful mess I'm in
Spendin' all my time with you
There's nothin' else I'd rather do
What a sweet addiction that I'm caught up in
'Cause I can't get enough
Can't stop the hunger for your love
What a beautiful
What a beautiful mess I'm in, ah ha

3rd Verse

This mornin' (I) put salt in my coffee
I put my shoes on the wrong feet
I'm losin' my mind, I swear
It might be the death of me
But I don't care

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Is it your eyes, is it your smile
All I know is that you're drivin' me wild

(Chorus Out)



  "I Believe" by Diamond Rio (Skip Ewing/Donny Kees)

1st Verse

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again

2nd Verse

And it's like you haven't been
Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holdin' you and me

3rd Verse

And with all my heart, I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need

1st Chorus

There are more than angels watchin' over me
I believe, oh, I believe

4th Verse

Now when you die, your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends, and if I'm right

2nd Chorus

Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, oh, I believe

Bridge

Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most
See that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy, then I am
'Cause I believe, oh, I believe

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

(Repeat 1st Verse)

And I believe



  "One More Day" by Diamond Rio (Steven Dale Jones/Bobby Tomberlin)

1st Verse

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

Chorus

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 wishin' still for one more day with you
One more day

2nd Verse

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone
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

(Chorus Out)
