15 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 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 or so

Takes a mighty strong love to keep a man thinking of

A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago.



--- Intrumental ---



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

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

Takes a mighty long time

To get a real love off your mind I know

I've tried since fifteen years ago...
