Soon
Tanya Tucker Lyrics

Looking back she thinks about that moment in the sand
She reminisces about the past and recalls that specific moment they shared on the beach

And what was just a summer fling
Initially, it was only supposed to be a brief and temporary romantic relationship

Got so far out of hand
It escalated into something more intense and serious than she had anticipated

She knew that he was taken
She was aware that he was already involved with someone else

But she gave in anyway
Despite her knowledge of their established relationship, she still chose to pursue him

She believed it when she heard him say...
She put faith in his words when he spoke to her

Soon I'll be free to be with you
He promises to break away and be with her when he is able

Soon I'll be telling you know who the facts of life
He will inform the person he is currently with that he will leave them for her

I want you to be my wife and our dreams will all come true
He desires to marry her, and together they can make their shared aspirations a reality

Soon
A repeated reminder of his pledge to be with her as soon as possible

Christmas finds her all alone with no calls to rejoice
During the holiday season, she feels lonely and has nothing to celebrate

So she calls his caller phone just to hear his voice
To feel a sense of comfort and connection, she phones his voicemail to listen to his voice

She knows that it's useless, but she does it anyway
She recognizes it's futile, yet persists in seeking solace from his message

Soon, I can't talk to you right now
He is unavailable to speak with her presently

Soon, you'll hear a beep and you know how to play this game
He predicts she will hear a beep and knows she understands the process of leaving a voicemail

Leave your number and your name, and I promise I'll call back
He requests her to leave her contact information, reassuring her he will return her call

Someday slowly turns to never
One day, they will not be together, and this thought becomes a certainty

Tears and champagne offer no solution
Crying or alcohol cannot solve their relationship's problems

He'll say soon to her forever
His commitment to being with her will never fade, and he will persistently make empty promises

So she makes her new years resolution
She creates a resolution for the new year

Soon she won't call him anymore
She is determined to stop relying on and contacting him

Soon, when he shows up at her door and
A scenario in which he arrives at her doorstep, prompting memories of his past pledges

Ask's her when can I be with you again
He questions her when he can be with her again

It'll be her turn to say
It will be her chance to vocalize her response to his promises

Soon
Similar to his previous refrains, his unreliable promise to be with her 'soon'
