Mac Arthur Park – Regine Velasquez (originally by Richard Harris)

Spring was never waiting for us dear
It went one step ahead
As we followed in that dance
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Forming like a wave
On the ground beneath your wings

Mac Arthur’s is melting in the dark
Sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I could 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
Flowing like a wave
On the ground beneath your wings
Just like the tender baby in your hand
And the old man playing checker by the tree

Mac Arthur’s is melting in the dark
Sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I could take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again

oh nooo…

Spring was never waiting for us dear
It went one step ahead
As we followed in that dance

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Flowing like a wave
On the ground beneath your wings
