| Martha (from closing time) 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 fourteen years or more now martha please recall and meet me out for dinner where we'll talk about it all 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 tomorrow we packed away our sorrows and we saved them for a rainy day i feel so much older now you're so 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 and those were... 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 wasn't meant to be martha martha i love you can't you see and those were... i remember quiet evenings trembling close to you tabs of this song back to homepage back to lyrics |
