MacArthur Park (Single Version)

[Verse 1]

Spring was never waiting for us, dear

It ran one step ahead

As we followed in the dance

[Chorus]

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, again

Ah-hah

[Verse 2]

I recall the yellow cotton dress

Foaming like a wave

On the ground beneath your knees

The birds like tender babies in your hands

And the old men playing

Chinese checkers by the trees

[Chorus]

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, again

Ah-hah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left my 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 nooooo.....Ohh....Ohh...Ohh....yeah

[Instrumental Outro]
