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 strong love to keep a man thinking 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 all eternity
 
 I've tried hard to make her happy
 
 And 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 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
  
 
 It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
 
 I know I've tried since fifteen years ago
