now

Mar-

please

re-

Meet

me

out

for

cof-

fee

where

we'll

talk

a-

bout

it

all

And

those

were

the

days

of

ro-

ses,

po-

et-

ry

and

prose

And

Mar-

tha

all

I

had

was

you

and

all

you

had

was

me

There

was

no

to-

mor-

rows,

we

packed

a-

way

our

sor-

rows

And

we

saved

them

for

a

rai-

ny

day

And

I

feel

so

much

ol-

now,

you're

much

ol-

How's

your

hus-

band?

And

how's

your

kids?

You

know

that

I

got

mar-

ried

too

Luc-

ky

that

you

found

some-

one

to

make

you

feel

se-

cure

'Cause

we

were

all

so

young

and

fool-

ish,

now

we

are

ma-

ture

And

those

were

the

days

of

ro-

ses,

po-

et-

And

Mar-

had

was

and

all

you

There

we

packed

a-

way

our

And

we

saved

them

for

a

rai-

day

And

I

was

al-

ways

so

im-

pul-

I

guess

that

I

still

am

And

all

that

real-

ly

mat-

then

was

that

I

was

a

man

I

guess

that

our

being

to-

get-

her

was

ne-

ver

meant

to

be

But

Mar-

I

love

And
