Spring was never waiting for us till
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance

Between the parted pages we 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 beneath your knees

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
Oh, no!

There'll be another song for me and I will sing it
There'll be 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, oh yeah
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves in 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 passion flow like rivers through the sky
Oh and after all the loves of my life
After all the loves in my life
You'll still be the one and I'll ask myself 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!
