Almost Persuaded Lyrics

Recorded by David Houston
Words and music by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton
Last night, all a- in a bar- room
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 hand in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temp- tation was flowing like wine.
And I was al- per- suaded
To strip myself of my pride
Al- most per- suaded
To push my conscience a- side. ...
CHANGE TO A:
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you!
Take me a- way from here and be my man."
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The re- flection of my wedding band.
And I was al- most per- suaded
to let strange lips lead me on
al- most per- suaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home.
