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.
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.
