Meat Loaf - Martha Meat Loaf - Martha |
| Operator, number please
It's been so many years
And she'll remember my old voice
While I fight the tears
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry about the cost
It's been 40 years or more
Now Martha please recall
And meet me out for coffee where
We'll talk about it all
[Chorus:]
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you and all you had was me
And there was no tomorrow's as we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day
And I feel so much older now
And you're much older too
Oh how's the husband and how's the kids?
You know that I got married too?
Oh lucky that ya found someone
To make you feel secure
Oh 'cause we were all so young and foolish
Now we are mature
[Chorus]
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
Oh, but Martha. Oh Martha, I love you, can't you see...
[Chorus]
And I remember quiet evenings, trembling close to you...
