Charted: 1978 Peaked at #1 (3 weeks) Casablanca -- 939 From the album "Live And More" B-Side "Once Upon A Time"
Spring was never waiting for us, dear It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance
Chorus: 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 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 On the ground beneath your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
Chorus x 2
