MacArthur Park - Ray Conniff, The Singers

Spring was never waiting for us girl

It ran one step ahead

As we followed in the dance.

Between the parted pages and were pressed

In love’s hot fevered iron

Like a striped pair of pants.

MacArthur’s 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 that recipe again, oh noooooo.

(MUSIC)

There would be another song for me

For I will sing it

There would be another dream for me

Someone will bring it.

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

And 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 passion flow like rivers through the sky.

And after all the loves of my life

Oh, after all the loves of my life

I’ll be thinking of you — and wondering why.

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, o-oh no-ooooo.
