Macarthur Park Lyrics - Singles - Richard Harris

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I recall the yellow cotton dress 

Foaming like a wave 

On the ground around your knees 

The 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 the recipe again 

Oh, no

There will be another song for me 

For I will sing it 

There will 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 

And after all the loves of my life 

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 passion flow like rivers through the sky 

And after all the loves of my life 

Oh, after all the loves of 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 

No, no 

Oh, no
