There´s a man dying on the side of the road
Won´t make it home tonight
He was driving fast on his cell phone
That´s how he lived his life
And while he was hangin´ by a thread
these were the final words he said


-[Chorus]-
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
She´s beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes
But I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate


There´s a women crying on the kitchen floor
She got a call tonight
Now she´s trembling outside her daughter´s door
Walks in and holds her tight
Wondering how and where to start
Is there a way to shield her heart?


-[Chorus]-
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
She´s beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and Appreciate


Any but a loving way
get hurt along the way
Don´t be afraid to open up
And use the time you have before it fades
Show your love today


-[Chorus]-
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
She´s beautiful, so beautiful
it might get rough sometimes
but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed
chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

Life is too short so take the time and appreciate...
