"Almost Persuaded" lyrics

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 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
