Almost Persuaded

<br>(Billy Sherrill/Glenn Sutton)<br><br>Last night, all alone in a bar room<br>Met a man with a drink in his hand<br>He had baby-blue eyes, coal black hair<br>And a smile that a girl understands.<br><br>Then he came and sat down at my table<br>And as he placed his hand over mine<br>I found myself wanting to kiss him<br>For temptation was flowing like wine. <br><br>And I was almost persuaded<br>To strip myself of my pride<br>Almost persuaded<br>To push my conscience aside.<br><br>Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!<br>Let me take you away, and be your man."<br>Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it<br>The reflection of my wedding band.<br><br>And I was almost persuaded<br>To let strange lips lead me on<br>Almost persuaded,<br>But your sweet love made me stop and go home.
