There's a man dying on the side of the road,
Won't make it home tonight,
He was driving fast on a cellular phone
That's how he lived his life.
Mmhhmm
While he was hanging by a thread theses were the final words he said,
My girl turned sweet sixteen today she's beautiful, so beautiful,
It might get rough some times but I hope she keeps her faith
(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I had the chance to say to her
Life is to short, so take the time and appreciate.
And there's a woman crying on the kitchen floor, she got a call tonight
And she trembling out side her daughters door
Wondering if now's the time,
Mmhhmm
Wondering how and where to start
Is there a way to shield her heart
My girl turned sweet sixteen today she's beautiful, so beautiful,
It might get rough some times but I hope she keeps her faith
(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I had the chance to say to her
Life is to short, so take the time and appreciate.
Is anybody loving
(Loving, loving, loving)
Get hurt 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
Ooooh
My girl turned sweet sixteen today she's beautiful, so beautiful,
It might get rough some times but I hope she keeps her faith
(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I had the chance to say to her
Life is to short, so take the time and appreciate.
