Almost Persuaded

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)



Last night all alone in a barroom

Met a man with a drink in his hand

He had baby blue eyes, coal black hair

And a smile that a girl understands.



Then he came and sat down at my table

And as he placed his hand over mine

I found myself wanting to kiss him

For temptation was flowing like wine.



And I was almost persuaded

To strip myself of my pride

Almost persuaded

To push my conscience aside.



Then we danced and he whispered I need you

Let me take you away and be your man

Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it

The reflection of my wedding band.



And I was almost persuaded

To let strange lips lead me on

Almost persuaded but your sweet love

Made me stop and go home...
