Introduction:
Bm A G
it's been so many years
D A7 D A7
will she remember my old voice
Bm A G
while i fight the tears?
D Bm7 Em A7
hello, hello there, is this martha?
D Bm7 Em A7
this is old tom frost,
D Bm7 Em A7
and i am calling long distance,
Bm A G
don't worry 'bout the cost.
D Bm7 Em A7
'cause it's been forty years or more,
D Bm7 Em A7
now martha please recall,
D Bm7 Em A7
meet me out for coffee,
Bm A G
where we'll talk about it all.
D G
and those were the days of roses,
D G
poetry and prose and martha
Bm E A7 D
all i had was you and all you had was me.
D G
there was no tomorrows,
D G
we'd packed away our sorrows
Bm E A7 D
and we saved them for a rainy day.
and i feel so much older now,
