Lyrics Macarthur Park - Vic Damone

Spring, was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in a dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In loves hot fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park, is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And 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-o-o-o-o!

I still see, the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground and 'round your knees
And the birds, like tender babies on your hand
And the old men playing, checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park, is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And 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-o-o-o-o!

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, when it is warm
And never let you catch me, looking at the sun
But 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 passions flow, like rivers to the sky
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I′ll be thinking of you
And wondering why

MacArthur Park, is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left our cake out in the rain
And 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-o-o-o-o!
Oh, no-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
