I saw a man today who said he’d talked to you
Not so long ago I think a month or two
As my mind goes back in time I pray
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 ago
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
Promised her my love through all eternity
I’ve tried hard to make her happy
But so far she doesn’t know
I can’t shake this thing frome 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 ago
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of a girl
He hasn’t seen since fifteen years ago

It takes a mighty long time
To get a real love off your mind
I know I’ve tried since fifteen years ago
