David Houston Almost Persuaded Lyrics

Almost Persuaded Lyrics

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

 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 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.
