Regine Velasquez – Macarthur Park lyrics

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It went one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like the wave
On the ground beneath your knees
CHORUS:
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!
{Rap interlude}
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like the wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
CHORUS:
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!
{Rap interlude}
Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It went one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like the wave
On the ground beneath your knees
CHORUS:
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!
