Intro
Verse 1
Operator, number please, it's
been so many years
Will she remember my old voice
while I fight the tears?
Hello, hello there, is this
Martha? This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance,
don't worry about the cost
'Cause it's been fourty years or
more now, Martha, please recall
And meet me out for coffee where
we'll talk about it all, and
Chorus
Those were days of roses, of
poetry and prose
And Martha, all I had was you,
and all you had was me
There was no tomorrows, we
packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy
day
Verse 2
And I feel so much older now,
you're much older too
How's your husband, and how's
your kids? You know that I got
married too
Lucky that you found someone to
make you feel secure
'Cause we were all so young and
foolish, now we are mature, and
Chorus
Those were days of roses, of
poetry and prose
And Martha, all I had was you,
and all you had was me
There was no tomorrows, we
packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy
day
Verse 3
And I was always so impulsive, I
guess that I still am
And all that really mattered
then was that I-- was a man
I guess that our being together
was never meant to be
Martha, Martha, I love you,
can't you see? And
Chorus
Those were days of roses, of
poetry and prose
And Martha, all I had was you,
and all you had was me
There was no tomorrows, we
packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy
day
Outro
And I remember quiet evenings,
trembling close to you
