[00:00.00]MacArthur Park - Alexander Armstrong
[00:08.77]Written by:Jimmy Webb
[00:17.54]Spring was never waiting for us dear
[00:21.56]It ran one step ahead
[00:24.40]As we followed in the dance
[00:34.50]Between the parted pages and were pressed
[00:38.73]In love's hot fevered iron
[00:41.80]Like a striped pair of pants
[00:52.25]I recall the yellow cotton dress
[00:55.92]Foaming like a wave
[00:58.72]On the ground beneath your knees
[01:08.82]The birds like tender babies in your hands
[01:12.98]And the old men playing chinese checkers by the trees
[01:26.02]Macarthur's park is melting in the dark
[01:30.07]All the sweet green icing flowing down
[01:34.63]Someone left the cake out in the rain
[01:39.13]I don't think that I can take it
[01:42.98]'Cause it took so long to bake it
[01:45.69]And I'll never have that recipe again
[02:26.20]There will be another song for me
[02:30.72]For I will sing it
[02:37.65]There will be another dream for me
[02:42.15]Someone will bring it
[02:48.38]I will drink the wine while it is warm
[02:52.39]And never let you catch me looking at the sun
[03:00.40]And after all the loves of my life
[03:06.58]After all the loves of my life
[03:10.64]You'll still be the one
[03:16.98]I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
[03:29.03]I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
[03:39.84]I will have the things that I desire
[03:44.24]And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
[03:51.58]And after all the loves of my life
[03:57.93]After all the loves of my life
[04:01.63]I'll be thinking of you
[04:07.48]And wondering why
[06:02.67]Macarthur's park is melting in the dark
[06:07.16]All the sweet green icing flowing down
[06:12.17]Someone left my cake out in the rain
[06:17.03]I don't think that I can take it
[06:21.31]'Cause it took so long to make it
[06:24.50]And I'll never have that recipe again
[06:46.25]Oh nooooo
