MacArthur Park Suite: MacArthur Park/One Of A Kind/Heavens Knows/MacArthur Park Reprise

Spring was never waiting for us till
 It ran one step ahead
 As we followed in the dance.
 ♪
 Between the parted pages
 We were pressed,
 In love's hot, fevered iron
 Like a striped pair of pants.
 ♪
 Mac Arthur'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, nooo!
 ♪
 I recall the yellow cotton dress
 Foaming like a wave
 On the ground beneath your knees
 Birds like tender babies in your hands
 And the old men playing
 Chinese checkers
 By the trees
 Mac Arthur'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, nooo!

 There will be another song for me
 And I will sing it
 There will 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 love's 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
 Oh, and after all the love's of my life, yeah
 After all the love's of my life
 You'll still be the one,
 And I'll ask myself why, yeah
 Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark
