Almost Persuaded

Last night, all alone in a bar room

I saw a man with a drink in his hand

He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair

And a smile that any girl could understand.

Then he came and he sat down at my table

And he placed his warm hand over mine

And I found myself wanting to kiss him

For temptation was flowing like wine.

And I was almost, almost persuaded

To strip myself of my pride

I was almost, almost persuaded

To push my conscience aside.

Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!

Let me take you away, I want to be your man."

Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it

The reflection of my, my wedding band.

Oh but I was almost, almost persuaded

To let another, let another's lips touch mine

And I was almost, almost persuaded

To push my conscience aside

Yes I was almost, almost persuaded

But your sweet love made me stop, stop and go home.
