[Verse 1] I found our message from the spring "We should do this soon" and then nothing A month became another one Both of us waiting for the perfect evening I sent a time, you sent a place Then a little dancing person on my screen [Pre-Chorus] We can keep a hundred plans Or put a real evening in our hands [Chorus] Take it from a raincheck to reality Put a little living where the talking used to be Meet me where the music finds the street Let's make soon mean you and me Raincheck to reality No big reason for a little company We've got tonight, so let it count Pick a place and I'll be heading out [Verse 2] The place we picked was fully booked We found a smaller one around the corner One table wobbles, no one cares The food comes late, our laughing comes much sooner We say we ought to do it more This time we pick a date before we go [Pre-Chorus] We can keep a hundred plans Or put a real evening in our hands [Chorus] Take it from a raincheck to reality Put a little living where the talking used to be Meet me where the music finds the street Let's make soon mean you and me Raincheck to reality No big reason for a little company We've got tonight, so let it count Pick a place and I'll be heading out [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] I don't need a perfect week I need a friend across from me Somewhere between the work and sleep A little promise we actually keep [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Take it from a raincheck to reality Put a little living where the talking used to be Meet me where the music finds the street Let's make soon mean you and me Raincheck to reality No big reason for a little company We've got tonight, so let it count Pick a place and I'll be heading out [Outro] Before we go Pick a date Let's make soon mean today
