And there's a man dyin' on the side of the road
Won't make it home tonight
He was driving fast on a cell phone
That's how he lived his life
While he was hanging by a thread
These where the final words he said
(Chorus)
My girl turned 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
And there's a woman crying on the kitchen floor
She gotta a call tonight
And now she's trembling outside her daughters' door
Walks in and holds her tight
Wonderin' how or where to start
Is there a way to shield her heart
(Chorus)
My girl turned 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
Anybody lovin will (lovin will)
Get hurt along the way
Don't be Afraid to open up (open up)
And use the time you have before it fades
Show your love today
(Chorus)
My girl turned sweet sixteen today
She's beautiful
So Beautiful
It might get rough sometimes (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
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
