Almost Persuaded |
Last night all alone in a barroom |
Met a girl with a drink in her hand. |
She had ruby red lips, 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. |
Last night all alone in a barroom |
Met a guy with a drink in his hand. |
He had bay 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 hands over mine, |
I found my self 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. |
