Almost Persuaded Lyrics

Recorded by Tammy Wynette
Words and music by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton
Last night, all a- lone in a bar- room
Met a man with a drink in his hand
He had baby-blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl under- stands. ...
Then he came and sat down at my table
And as he placed his hand over mine
I found myself wanting to kiss him
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 D:
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!
Let me take you away, and be your man."
Then I looked into his 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.
