Almost Persuaded

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 understandsThen 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 wineAnd I was almost persuaded

To strip myself of my pride

Almost persuaded

To push my conscience asideThen 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 bandAnd I was almost persuaded

To let strange lips lead me on

Almost persuaded

But your sweet love made me stop and go home
