many

years.

	D	A7	D	A7	Bm	A	G
	She'll re	member	my old	voice	while I	fight the	tears.

	Hello,	hello there.	Is this	Martha?	This is	ol' Tom	Frost.

	D	B7	Em	A7	Bm	A	G
	I am	calling	long	distance, don't	worry	about the	cost.

	D	B7	Em	A7	D	B7	Em	A7
	It's been	fourteen	years or	more now;	Martha,	please re	call,

	D	B7	Em	A	Bm	A	G
And	meet me	out for	coffee	where we'll	talk	about it	all.

	D	G	D	G
	And those were days of	roses, of	poetry and	prose

	Bm	G	Em	A	D	G
And Martha,	all I had was	you and all you	had	was	me.

	D	G	D	G
	There was no to	morrow, we	packed away our	sorrows

And we

saved them for a

rai

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.
