Donna Summer - MacArthur Park Suite lyrics

ACT I - MacArthur Park 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 pa**ion 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 all the sweet green icing flowing down someone left my 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!
