Appreciate - Charlotte Perrelli

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
