MacArthur Park |
| Spring was never waiting for us, girl |
| It ran one step ahead |
| As we followed in the dance |
| Between the parted pages and were pressed |
| In love’s hot, fevered iron |
| Like a striped pair of pants |
| MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark |
| All the sweet, green icing flowing down |
| Someone left the cake out in the rain |
| I don’t think that I can take it |
| 'Cause it took so long to bake it |
| And I’ll never have that recipe again |
| Oh, no |
| I recall the yellow cotton dress |
| Foaming like a wave |
| On the ground around your knees |
| Birds, like tender babies in your hands |
| And the old men playing checkers by the trees |
| MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark |
| All the sweet, green icing flowing down |
| Someone left the cake out in the rain |
| I don’t think that I can take it |
| 'Cause it took so long to bake it |
| And I’ll never have that recipe again |
| Oh, no |
| There will be another song for me |
| For I will sing it |
| There will another dream for me |
| Someone will bring it |
| I will drink the wine while it is warm |
| And never let you catch me |
| Looking at the sun |
| And after all the loves of my life |
| Yes after all the loves of my life |
| You’ll still be the one |
| I will take my life into my hands |
| And I will use it |
| I will win the worship in their eyes |
| And I will lose it |
| I will have the things that I desire |
| And my passions flow like rivers through the sky |
| And after all the loves of my life |
| Yes after all the loves in my life |
| I’ll be thinking of you |
| And wondering why |
| MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark |
| All the sweet green icing flowing down |
| Someone left the cake out in the rain |
| I don’t think that I can take it |
| 'Cause it took so long to bake it |
| And I’ll never have that recipe again |
| Oh, no! |
| Oh, no! |
