Operator, number, please: it's been so many years
She’ll remember my old voice while I fight the tears
Hello, hello there, is this Martha? this is old Tom Frost,
I am calling long distance, don't worry 'bout the cost.
It's been forty years or more, now Martha please recall,
And meet me out for coffee, where we'll talk about it all.
CHORUS
And 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.
And I feel so much older now, you're much older too,
How's the husband? How's the kids? you know that I got married too
Lucky that you found someone who makes you feel secure,
We were all so young and foolish, now we are mature.
REPEAT CHORUS
And I was always so impulsive, guess that I still am,
All that really mattered then was that I was a man.
Guess that our bein’ together was never meant to be.
Martha, Martha, I love you can't you see?
REPEAT CHORUS
I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you...
