Appreciate

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 16today

She's beautiful,so beautiful

It might get rough sometimes;

I hope she'll keep the faith

I wish I grabbed the chance

to say to her

Life is too short

so take the time and appreciate

There's this woman crying

on the kitchen floor

She got a call tonight

Now she's trembling

outside her daughter's door

She walks in and holds her tight

oh

Wondering how and where to start

Is there a way to

shield her heart?

My girl turned sweet 16today

She's beautiful,so beautiful

It might get rough sometimes;

I hope she'll keep the faith

I wish I grabbed the chance to

say to her

Life is too short

so take the time and appreciate

Cause 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 your love

My girl turned sweet 16today

She's beautiful,so beautiful

It might get rough sometimes;

I hope she'll keep the 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
