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.
A D
And I'll never have that recipe again...

Oh, no......, Agaaaah...

I recall the yellow cotton dress,

foaming like a wave.

On the ground beneath your knees.
Bm D
Birds like tender babies in your hands
D
And the old men playing;
C Em Em
Chinese checkers by the tree.

MacArthur's Park is melting, in the dark

All the sweet green icing, flowing down.

'Cause it took so long to bake it.

And I'll never have that recipe again...

Oh, no...........,Agaaaaah.
