If your first love began when you were about 15,
you would be about 55 when
you met that first love again, forty years later.
If your first love began when you were about 25,
you would be about 65 when
you met that first love again, forty years later.
If your first love began when you were about 35,
you would be about 75
when you met that first love again, forty years later.
Would you still remember the details of those days
of roses, poetry, and prose you shared?

Tom Writs - Martha
Operator, number please
It's been so many years
Will she 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 'bout the cost
'Cause it's been 40 years or more
Now, Martha, please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all
And those were the days of
roses, poetry and prose
And, Martha, all I had was you,
and all you had was me
There was no tomorrows,
we'd packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day
And I feel so much older now
And you're much older too
How's your husband and how's the kids?
You know that I got married too?
Lucky that you found someone
To make you feel secure
'Cause we were all so young and foolish
Now we are mature
And those were the days of r
oses, poetry and prose
And, Martha, all I had was you,
and all you had was me
There was no tomorrows,
we'd packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day
And I was always so impulsive
I guess that I still am
And all that really mattered then
Was that I was a man
I guess that our being together
Was never meant to be
And Martha, Martha
I love you, can't you see?
And those were the days of
roses, poetry and prose
And, Martha, all I had was you,
and all you had was me
There was no tomorrows,
we'd packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day
And I remember quiet evenings
Trembling close to you
