Lyrics
Operator, number please
It's been so many years
She remembers my old voice
While I fight the tears
Hello, hello, there is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
I'm calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost
It's been forty years or more
Now Martha, please recall
Meet me out for coffee
And 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 tomorrow
We would pack away our sorrows
And save them for a rainy day
And I feel much older now
And you're much older too
How's the husband? How's the kids?
You know I got married too
It's lucky that you found someone
To make you feel secure
We were oh so young and foolish
And 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 tomorrow
We just packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day
And I was always so impulsive
I guess that I still am
'Cause all that really mattered then
Was that I was a man
Funny how our being together
Was never meant to be
Oh Martha, sweet 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 tomorrow
We just packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day
And I remember quiet evenings
Trembling close to you
