[00:16.88] Operator, number, please:
[00:21.66] It's been so many years
[00:23.36] Will she remember my old voice
[00:28.01] While I fight the tears?
[00:32.23] Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
[00:35.99] This is old Tom Frost,
[00:39.95] And I am calling long distance,
[00:43.00] Don't worry 'bout the cost.
[00:47.87] 'Cause it's been forty years or more,
[00:51.53] Now Martha please recall,
[00:55.44] Meet me out for coffee,
[00:58.95] Where we'll talk about it all.
[01:05.26] And those were the days of roses,
[01:08.76] Poetry and prose and Martha
[01:12.37] All I had was you and all you had was me.
[01:19.58] There was no tomorrows,
[01:23.03] We'd packed away our sorrows
[01:27.18] And we saved them for a rainy day.
[01:42.41] And I feel so much older now,
[01:45.46] And you're much older too,
[01:49.47] How's your husband?
[01:51.40] And how's the kids?
[01:52.72] You know that I got married too?
[01:57.29] Lucky that you found someone
[02:00.90] To make you feel secure,
[02:04.91] 'Cause we were all so young and foolish,
[02:08.72] Now we are mature.
[02:13.19] And those were the days of roses,
[02:18.32] Poetry and prose and Martha
[02:21.98] All I had was you and all you had was me.
[02:29.14] There was no tomorrows,
[02:33.00] We'd packed away our sorrows
[02:35.84] And we saved them for a rainy day.
[02:58.34] And I was always so impulsive,
[03:01.08] I guess that I still am,
[03:05.85] And all that really mattered then
[03:09.51] Was that I was a man.
[03:13.62] I guess that our being together
[03:17.33] Was never meant to be.
[03:21.24] And Martha, Martha,
[03:24.92] I love you can't you see?
[03:29.64] And those were the days of roses,
[03:34.11] Poetry and prose and Martha
[03:37.00] All I had was you and all you had was me.
[03:46.04] There was no tomorrows,
[03:48.02] We'd packed away our sorrows
[03:52.85] And we saved them for a rainy day.
[04:07.47] And I remember quiet evenings
[04:11.44] Trembling close to you...
