Martha Songtext
von Freddie White

Operator, number please, it′s been so many years
Will she remember my old voice as I fight back the tears?
Hello, hello there, is this Martha? This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance, don't worry ′bout the cost
'Cause it's been forty years or more now, Martha, please recall
Meet me out for coffee and we′ll talk about it all

And those were days of roses, poetry, and prose
And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me
There was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrow
And we saved it for a rainy day


And I am so much older now, you′re much older too
How's the husband? How′s the kids? You know, I got married too
Lucky that you found somebody to make you feel secure
'Cause we were all so young and foolish, now we are mature

And those were days of roses, poetry, and prose
And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me
There was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrow
And we saved it for a rainy day

And I was always so impulsive, I guess that I still am
But all that really mattered then was that I was a man
I guess that our being together was never meant to be
Martha, oh Martha, I love you, can′t you see?

And those were days of roses, poetry, and prose
And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me
There was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrow
And we saved it for a rainy day

And I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you
