fifteen years ago

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 long time

to get a real love off your mind

i know

i've tried since fifteen years ago

i've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me

i promised her my love through all eternity

i've tried hard to make her happy

and so far

she doesn't know

that 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 strong love

to keep a man thinking of

a girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
