Macarthur Park [promotional Single Version] [version] Lyrics - Donna Summer

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 

Oh, no! 

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 

Oh, no! 

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!
