operator number please it's been so many years
will she remember my own 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 marthur
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
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 marthur
all i had was you
and all you had was me
there was no tomorrows
we packed away our sorrows
and we'd save them for a rainy day
and i was always so important
i guess that i still am
and all that really mattered then
was that i was a man
i guess that i'll be in together
was never meant to be
a martha martha
i love you can't you see
and those were days of roses
poetry and prose and marthur
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 you
