Almost Persuaded

Last night all alone in a barroom met a man with a drink in his hand



He had big brown eyes and coal black hair and a smile

that a girl understands



Then he came and sat down at my table and as he placed his hands 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 weddin' 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
