Almost Persuaded - Dottie West

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 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 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
