Fifteen Years Ago

(Raymond A. Smith)



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 sweet 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 thinkin' of a girl

He hasn't seen since fifteen years ago.

I've got a lovely wife

Who thinks the world of me

Promised her my love

Through out 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 good 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 of your mind

I know I've tried since fifteen years ago.



I know I've tried since fifteen years ago...
