Almost Persuaded

Bill Lloyd

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 hand 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 in 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
