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.      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.
