guitar chords lyrics
Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the folded pages we were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur'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, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing
Chinese Checkers by the tree
MacArthur'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, no!
There'll be another song for me
And I will sing it
There'll 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, yeah
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves in 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 loves of my life
After all the loves in my life you'll still be the one
And I'll ask myself why, yeah
MacArthur'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 too long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
You're one of a kind
Gotta have ya
Well, you're one of a kind
I need to have ya
Right from the start you tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart
Body and soul
You took me out of control
You stole the best part of my heart
You're one of a kind
You got magic
I know you're one of a kind
Baby, you're static
Right from the start you tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart
Body and soul
You took me out of control
You stole the best part of my heart
Right from the start you tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart
Body and soul
You took me out of control
You stole the best part of my heart
Baby, please
Please don't take your love from me
I am yours forevermore
For eternity
Silently
Listen to the words I say
I'm not talking just for play
Listen to me, please
Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And heaven knows
It's not the way it could be
And don't you know?
There's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I never want to leave you
Heaven knows
I only wanna please you
Don't you know?
Love is what I need
Down inside
Won't get caught with foolish pride
But all the other things aside
Only you and me
Believe in us
We were always meant to be
Me for you and you for me
'Til eternity
Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And heaven knows
It's not the way it could be
And don't you know?
There's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
Heaven knows
I only wanna please you
Don't you know?
Love is what I need
Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And heaven knows
It's not the way it could be
And don't you know
Love is what I need to live
Heaven knows
I only wanna love you
And heaven knows
I never wanna lose you
And don't you know?
Love is meant to be
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took too long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
