Fifteen Years Ago

D                                 
I saw a man today who said he 
A7                    D
talked to you
                           G       
Not so long ago I think a month or 
              D
two
As my mind raced back in time
    G

                  D                
I prayed oh Lord don't let it show
     G

               D                A7
He thinks I forgot you fifteen 
                D
years ago



                                  G
Fifteen  years ago and I still feel
                  D
 the same
Why did he have to mention your name
              A7

I'm as broken up inside as if it's
          D                     G
 been a week or so

I takes a mighty strong love to keep
 a man thinking of
              D                    
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen

I've got a lovely wife who thinks 
      A7                       D
the world of me
Promised her my love through all 
             G         D

I've tried hard to make her happy 
and so far she doesn't know
           D                       
I can't shake this thing of fifteen

It takes a mighty long time to get a
 real love off your mind
                  D            
I know I've tried since fifteen
