Last night all alone in a barroom I 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 and 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 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
|
