Meat Loaf- Martha Lyrics

Meat Loaf- Martha Lyrics

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…
