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? 



Appreciate 



(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.
