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
