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 noooooo
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground be your knees
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 that recipe again
Oh noooooo
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 noooooo ooh An
