Operator, number please, it's been so many years.
RE LA7 RE LA7 SIm LA SOL
She'll remember my old voice while I fight the tears.
RE SI7 MIm LA7 RE SI7 MIm LA7
Hello, hello there. Is this Martha? This is ol' Tom Frost.
RE SI7 MIm LA7 SIm LA SOL
I am calling long distance, don't worry about the cost.
RE SI7 MIm LA7 RE SI7 MIm LA7
It's been fourteen years or more now; Martha, please recall,
RE SI7 MIm LA SIm LA SOL
And meet me out for coffee where we'll talk about it all.
RE SOL RE SOL
And those were days of roses, of poetry and prose
SIm SOL MIm LA RE SOL
And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me.
RE SOL RE SOL
There was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrows
SIm SOL LA RE SOL RE LA7 RE LA7 SIm LA SOL
And we saved them for a rainy day.
I feel so much old 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.
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 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 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 remember quiet evenings trembling close to you.
