Lyrics
Operator
Number please
It's been so many years
She'll remember
My old voice
While I fight the tears
It's been twenty years or more now
Martha, please recall
And meet me out for coffee
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 'em for a rainy day
I feel so much older now
And you're much older too
How's the husband
And how's the kids?
You know that I got married too
Guess that our bein' together
Was never meant to be
But, 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 'em for a rainy day
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 'em for a rainy day
