MacArthur Park Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ChristineShaheen 

Cover art for MacArthur Park lyrics by Donna Summer

This song is about Spring ending too soon, and along with it, a Spring romance with sweet memories in MacArthur park (which is in Los Angeles, apprently). (Perhaps the relationship hasn't ended, but just this happy nostaglic period.) It's about the sadness of never being able to go back and recreate your happy momments and memories, how they're never the same.
