Fifteen years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now there's roses in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took fifteen years going up
But one night coming down
Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From high on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years going up
And one night coming down
Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in me is gone
My tears tell her I'm sorry
But they can't write my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After fifteen years going up
It's hard to take a fall
Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From high on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years going up
And one night coming down
I've been fifteen years going up
And one night coming down
