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 ago
It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago

I 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
But so far, she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing from 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 ago
It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago

It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago
