Almost Persuaded

Last night all alone in a barroom met a man with a drink in his hand
He had warm brown eyes coal black hair and the smile that would tempt any one

Then he came and sat down at my table and as he placed his strong hand on mine
I found myself wanting to kiss 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
Let's go away from here and I'll be your man
But as 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 (and go home)
