There´s a man dying on the side of the road,
Won´t make it home tonight.
He was driving fast on his cellular phone,
That´s how he lived his life.
While he was hangin´ by a thread
These were the final words he said

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?

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

Anybody loving way (loving way, loving way)
Get heart along the way
Don´t be afraid to open up (open up, open up)
And use the time you have before it fades
Show your love today

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
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
