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.
