There's a man dying on the side of the road,
Won't make it home tonight.
He was driving fast on his cellular phone,
That's how he lived his life.
And while he was hangin' by a thread
these were the final words he said

My girl turns 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 a chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

There's a women 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 turns 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)

Any but a loving way
It heard along the way
Don't be afraid to open up
And use the time you have before it fades
Show your love today

Hay un hombre muriendo en la orilla de la carretera,
No llegará a casa esta noche
Estaba manejando rápido y hablando por su teléfono celular,
Así es como vive su vida
Y mientras se caía de un hilo
Estas fueron las palabras finales, dijo

Mi dulce chica de 16 vuelve hoy,
Ella es hermosa, tan hermosa.
Hasta podría llegar a ser tosca a veces
Pero espero que guarde su fé (espero que ella guarde su fé)
Deseo tener la oportunidad de decirle a ella
La vida es muy corta por lo tanto tómala y aprovéchala
Esta es una mujer llorando sobre el piso de la cocina
Ella recibía una llamada esta noche
Ahora ella está afuera de la puerta temblando con su hija
Paseos en su apretada agenda d quehaceres
Preguntándose cómo y por dónde empezar,
¿Hay una forma de proteger a su corazón?

Mi dulce chica de dieciséis vuelve hoy,
Ella es hermosa, tan hermosa.
Podría llegar a veces a ser tosca, pero espero que mantenga su fe. (Espero que mantenga su fe)
Deseo encontrar la oportunidad de decirle
La vida es muy corta por lo tanto tómala y aprovéchala

Cualquier amante espera
Esto se escucha en la espera
No tengas miedo de abrir la puerta
Y utilizar el tiempo que tienes antes de que se desvanezca
Muestra tu amor hoy

."Appreciate"

Lift up your head
And remember what your life is
Don't have to give it all away
When you're left for dead
In the middle of a crisis
You must appreciate the day

There's something there
But you're frightened to invite it
Beware of pushing it away
Show that you care
And be certain you don't fight it
You must appreciate the day

She says you don't give back what you take
She got evidence you don't appreciate her love
She says it's all a show and no-go
You drop everything, give back
Reciprocate her love
