I saw a man today
Who said he talked to you
Not so long ago
I think a month or two
As my mind raced back
in time I prayed
Oh Lord don't let it show
He thinks I forgot you
fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago
And I still feel the same
Why did he have
to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside
As if it's been a week or so
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinkin' of
a girl he hasn't seen
since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife
Who thinks the world of me
I promised her my love
throughout eternity
I've tried hard
to make her happy
And so far she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing
of fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago
And I still feel the same
Why did he have
to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside
As if it's been a week or so
It takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried
Since fifteen years ago
