[00:17.50] | Operator number please |
[00:21.10] | It's been so many years |
[00:25.67] | And she'll remember my old voice |
[00:29.79] | While I fight the tears |
[00:34.22] | Hello,hello there is this Martha |
[00:38.23] | This is old Tom frost |
[00:42.69] | And I am calling long distance |
[00:48.79] | Don't worry about the cost |
[00:51.68] | It's been 40 years or more |
[00:55.62] | Now Martha please recall |
[00:57.65] | And meet me out for coffee |
[01:03.73] | Where we'll talk about it all |
[01:07.94] | And those were days of roses |
[01:13.60] | Poetry and prose and Martha |
[01:17.79] | And all I had was you and all you had was me |
[01:25.58] | And there was no tomorrows |
[01:29.92] | As we packed away our sorrows |
[01:33.51] | And we saved it for a rainy day |
[01:49.14] | And I feel so much older now |
[01:52.90] | And you're much older too |
[01:57.09] | Oh how's the husband and how's the kids |
[02:03.19] | You know I got married too? |
[02:04.40] | Oh lucky that ya found someone |
[02:09.47] | To make ya feel secure |
[02:13.32] | Oh cause we were all so young and foolish |
[02:17.89] | And now we are mature |
[02:23.41] | And those were days of roses |
[02:27.43] | Poetry and prose and Martha |
[02:31.34] | And all I had was you and all you had was me |
[02:39.80] | And there was no tomorrows |
[02:43.58] | As we packed away our sorrows |
[02:47.59] | And we saved it for a rainy day |
[03:03.09] | And I was always so impulsive |
[03:05.79] | I guess that I still am |
[03:11.43] | But all that really mattered then |
[03:14.78] | Was that I was a man |
[03:20.41] | I guess that our being together |
[03:23.75] | Was never meant to be |
[03:27.57] | Oh Martha,oh Martha I love you |
[03:31.72] | Can't you see |
[03:36.29] | And those were days of roses |
[03:41.51] | Poetry and prose and Martha |
[03:45.54] | And all I had was you and all you had was me |
[03:50.64] | And there was no tomorrows |
[03:55.53] | As we packed away our sorrows |
[04:01.05] | And we saved it for a rainy day |
[04:17.01] | And I remember quiet evenings |
[04:21.14] | Trembling close to you. |
