Almost Persuaded

Don Gibson

Compositor: Billy Sherrill / Glenn Sutton

And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside

Last night all alone in a barroom I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man

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 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
