[00:00.00]MacArthur Park (American Idol Performance) - Amber Holcomb
[00:27.50]Spring was never waiting for us girl
[00:33.04]It ran one step ahead
[00:36.37]As we followed in the dance
[00:39.29]
[00:50.68]Between the parted pages and were pressed
[00:55.01]
[00:55.87]In love's hot fevered iron
[00:58.60]
[00:59.32]Like a striped pair of pants
[01:02.56]
[01:12.80]Macarthur's park is melting in the dark
[01:17.60]
[01:18.18]All the sweet green icing flowing down
[01:23.24]
[01:24.07]Someone left the cake out in the rain
[01:28.80]
[01:29.38]I don't think that i can take it
[01:34.65]'Cause it took so long to bake it
[01:37.90]
[01:38.48]And i'll never have that recipe again oh noooooo
[01:51.16]
[02:01.42]I recall the yellow cotton dress
[02:06.00]
[02:06.94]Foaming like a wave
[02:08.86]
[02:10.17]On the ground around your knees
[02:13.09]
[02:15.98]Birds like tender babies in your hands
[02:20.41]
[02:21.48]And the old men playing checkers by the trees
[02:28.17]
[02:30.90]Macarthur's park is melting in the dark
[02:35.23]
[02:36.34]All the sweet green icing flowing down
[02:40.89]
[02:42.20]Someone left the cake out in the rain
[02:47.67]I don't think that i can take it
[02:52.87]'Cause it took so long to bake it
[02:55.78]
[02:56.51]And i'll never have that recipe again oh noooooo
[03:05.75]
[03:41.80]There would be another song for me
[03:44.66]For i will sing it
[03:47.54]
[03:49.27]There would be another dream for me
[03:52.12]Someone will bring it
[03:54.98]
[03:56.19]I will drink the wine while it is warm
[03:58.78]And never let you catch me looking at the sun
[04:02.14]
[04:03.62]And after all the loves of my life
[04:06.95]
[04:07.77]After all the loves of my life you'll still be the one
[04:12.69]
[04:14.60]I will take my life into my hands and i will use it
[04:20.54]
[04:22.04]I will win the worship in their eyes and i will lose it
[04:28.00]
[04:29.51]I will have the things that i desire
[04:32.31]And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
[04:35.33]
[04:37.40]And after all the loves of my life
[04:40.36]
[04:41.35]Oh after all the loves of my life
[04:44.32]I'll be thinking of you - and wondering why
[04:49.98]
[05:03.42]Macarthur's park is melting in the dark
[05:08.53]
[05:09.08]All the sweet green icing flowing down
[05:12.85]
[05:14.94]Someone left the cake out in the rain
[05:19.36]
[05:20.35]I don't think that i can take it
[05:24.89]'Cause it took so long to bake it
[05:28.93]And i'll never have that recipe again
[05:34.09]
[05:36.12]Oh noooooo o-oh no-ooooo
