Almost Persuaded--- by David Houston

Last night all alone in the bar room

Met a girl with a drink in her hand

She has ruby red eyes, cold black hair

And eyes that could tempt any man

And she came and sat down at my table

And there she placed her soft hand in mine

I found myself wanting to kiss her

For temptation was flowing like wine

And I Almost Persuaded

To strip myself off my pride

Almost Persuaded

To push my conscience aside

And 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 ----

The reflection of my wedding band

And I Almost Persuaded

To let strange lips lead me on

Almost Persuaded

But your sweet love made me

Stop and go home
