Almost Persuaded

Last night all alone in a barroom I 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 on mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was 
flowin' 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
