SOON
(Casey Kelly / Bob Regan)


Tanya Tucker - 1993





Lookin' back she thinks about that moment in the sand 
When what was just a summer fling got so far out of hand
She knew that he was taken, but she gave in anyway
She believed it when she heard him say

Soon, I'll be free to be with you
Soon, I'll be telling you know who the facts of life
I want you to be my wife
And our dreams will all come true, soon

Christmas finds her all alone with no cause to rejoice
So she calls his calller phone just to hear his voice
She knows that it's useless, but she does it anyway
And she knows how he'll answer before she hears him say

Soon, I can't talk to you right now
Soon, you'll hear a beep and you know how to play this game
Leave your number and your name
And I promise I'll call back, soon

Someday slowly turns to never
Tears and champagne offer no solution
He'll say soon to her forever
So she makes her New Year's resolution

Soon, she won't call him anymore
Soon, when he shows up at her door
And asks her when can I be with you again
It'll be her turn to say, "Soon"
