Conway Twitty – 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 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 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 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
takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know
I've tried since fifteen years ago
