Carmen McRae

MacArthur Park
Spring was never waiting for us, girlIt ran one step aheadAs we followed in the danceBetween the parted pages and were pressedIn love's hot fevered ironLike a striped pair of pantsI recall the yellow cotton dressIt was foaming like a waveOn the ground around your kneesThe birds, like tender babies in your handsAnd the old men playingCheckers by the treesMacArthur Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet green icing flowing downOh, someone left the cake out in the rainAnd I don't think that I can take itCause it took so long to bake itAnd I'll never have that recipe againOh, no, oh noThere will be another song for meFor I will sing itThere will be another dream for meOh, someone will bring itSongtexteI will drink the wine while it is warmAnd never let you catch me looking at the sunAnd after all the loves of my lifeAfter all the loves of my life, you'll still be the oneLittle girlI will take my life into my hands, I will use itI will win the worship in their eyes oh and I will lose itI will have the things that I desireAnd my passion flow like rivers through the skyAnd after all the loves of my lifeAfter all the loves of my lifeI'll be thinking of youAnd wondering whyMacArthur Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet, green icing flowing downOh, someone left the cake out in the rainAnd I don't think that I can take itCause it took so long to bake itAnd I'll never have that recipe againOh no, oh no, no Aus Songtexte Mania
