The Statler Brothers - Fifteen Years Ago LYRICS

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
