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 name I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so 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 I promised her my love through all 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 name I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so It takes a mighty strong love To keep a man thinking of A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
