Fifteen Years Ago Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

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 

[ steel ] 

I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me 

Promised her my love through our 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
