Intro

Verse 1

 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

Chorus

My girl turns sweet sixteen today,

 She's beautiful, so beautiful.

It might get rough sometimes

 but I hope she keeps her faith.

S

I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her

 Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

Verse 2

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

Bridge

Any but a loving way

 It heard along the way

 Don't be afraid to 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

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
