MacArthur Park - Single Version

Spring was never waiting for us, dear

It ran one step ahead

As we followed in the dance

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

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

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

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left my cake out in the rain

And 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
