Charlotte Perrelli 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 16 today
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
Wondering how and where to start
Is there a way to shield her heart?
My girl turned sweet 16 today
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
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 you love
My girl turned sweet 16 today
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
