[00:24.990]Spring was never waiting for us, dear
[00:30.360]It ran one step ahead
[00:33.820]As we followed in the dance
[00:47.680]Between the parted pages we were pressed,
[00:53.230]In love's hot, fevered iron
[00:56.530]Like a striped pair of pants
[01:00.930]
[01:09.330]MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
[01:14.640]All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
[01:20.430]Someone left the cake out in the rain
[01:25.980]I don't think that I can take it
[01:30.930]'cause it took so long to bake it
[01:34.630]And I'll never have that recipe again
[01:41.430]Oh, no!
[01:51.790]
[02:04.160]I recall the yellow cotton dress
[02:09.370]Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
[02:18.620]The birds like tender babies in your hands
[02:23.600]And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
[02:31.420]
[02:34.000]MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
[02:38.890]All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
[02:44.780]Someone left the cake out in the rain
[02:50.240]I don't think that I can take it
[02:55.080]'cause it took so long to bake it
[02:58.790]And I'll never have that recipe again
[03:05.380]Oh, no!
[03:19.010]
[03:50.410]There will be another song for me
[03:53.920]And I will sing it
[03:57.780]There will be another dream for me
[04:00.850]Someone will bring it
[04:04.640]I will drink the wine while it is warm
[04:07.540]And never let you catch me looking at the sun
[04:12.060]And after all the loves of my life
[04:16.520]After all the loves of my life
[04:19.340]You'll still be the one.
[04:23.090]
[04:23.660]I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
[04:30.530]I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
[04:37.590]I will have the things that I desire
[04:40.740]And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
[04:45.010]And after all the loves of my life
[04:49.240]After all the loves of my life
[04:52.240]Still be the one
[04:55.410]And I'll ask myself why
[05:03.530]
