Billy Walker

Fifteen Years Ago

I saw a man today who said he talked to you not so long ago I think a month or two

And 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 though it's been a week or so

Makes a mighty strong love to keep a man thinking 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 all eternity

I've tried hard to make her happy and so far she doesn't know

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 name

I'm as broken up inside as though it's been a week or so

Takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind I know

Because I've tried since fifteen years ago

I know I've tried since fifteen years ago
