Fifteen Years Going Up (And One Night Coming Down)

(Peggy Forman)



Fifteen years together we climbed by work and will

From a simple two room cottage to a mansion on the hill

Now, there's roses in the garden but it's the coldest place in town

It took fifteen years, goin' up and one night comin' down.



Fifteen years of heaven for one short night of sin

From blue skies forever to an end

From out on a mountain to both knees on the ground

Fifteen years, goin' up and one night comin' down.



Her dreams have all been shattered, her faith in me is gone

My tears tell her, I'm sorry but they can't right my wrong

One night wrote my story how a man can lose it all

After fifteen years goin' up it's hard to take a fall.



Fifteen years of heaven for one short night of sin

From blue skies forever to an end

From high on a mountain to both knees on the ground

Fifteen years, goin' up and one night comin' down.



I've been fifteen years goin' up and one night comin' down...
