(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...
