[Verse 1: Conway Twitty] 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 raced back in time I prayed Oh Lord don't let it show He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago [Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
