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, nooooo

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, nooooo

[Instrumental Interlude]

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 make it
And I´ll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo
