Almost Persuaded

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)



Last night all alone in a barroom

Met a man who set my heart awhirl

He had a smile on his lips and coal black hair

And eyes that would tempt any girl.



Then he came and sat down at my table

And as he placed his warm hand in mine

I found myself wanting to hold him

For temptation was flowin' 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

Come with me, let me 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...
