"If you don't think every day is a great day, try going without one."

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

While he was hanging by a thread
These were the final words he said

My girl turned sweet sixteen today
She's beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes but I 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 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

My girl turned sweet sixteen today
She's beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes but I 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 loving will
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

My girl turned sweet sixteen today
She's beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes but I 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
