Almost Persuaded

Last night
All alone in a barroom
Met a man who set my heart awhirl
He had a smile on his lips
And coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any girl

Then he came and sat down at my table
And as he placed his warm hand in mine
I found myself wanting to hold 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
Come with me
Let me 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
