Almost Persuaded

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Last night all alone in a barroom Met a girl with a drink in her hand She had ruby red lips and coal black hair And eyes that would tempt any man [Verse 2] Then she came and sat down at my table And as she placed her soft hands in mine I found myself wanting to kiss her For temptation was flowing like wine [Chorus] And I was almost persuaded To strip myself of my pride Almost persuaded To push my conscience aside [Verse 3] Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you" "Take me away from here and be my man" Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it The reflection of my wedding band [Chorus] And I was almost persuaded To let strange lips lead me on Almost persuaded But your sweet love made me stop and go home
