Almost Persuaded

Almost Persuaded
 (Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
 Last night all alone in a barroom
 Met a girl with a drink in her hand
 She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
 And eyes that would tempt any man.
 Then she came and sat down at my table
 And as she placed her soft hands in mine
 I found myself wanting to kiss her
 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 she whispered I need you
 Take me away from here and be my man
 Then I looked into her 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...
