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
forty years or more
now Martha
please recall
Meet me out for coffee
where we'll talk about it
all and those were
days of roses
Poetry and prose
and Martha all I had
was you and all
you had was me
There was no tomorrows
we'd packed away
our sorrows
and we'd save them
for a rainy day
And I feel so much
older now
and you're much
older too
How's your husband?
and how's the 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
those were
days of roses
Poetry and prose
and Martha all I had
was you and all
you had was me
There was no tomorrows
we'd packed away
our sorrows
and we'd save them
for a rainy day
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
And Martha
Martha
I love you can't you see?
and those were
days of roses
Poetry and prose
and Martha all I had
was you and all
you had was me
There was no tomorrows
we'd packed away
our sorrows
and we'd save them
for a rainy day
And I remember
quiet evenings
trembling close to yo...u
