Last night, all alone in a party I saw a man with a drink in his hand He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair And a smile that any girl could understand.
Then he came and he sat down at my table And he placed his warm hand on mine And I found myself wanting to kiss him For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost, almost persuaded To strip myself of my pride I was almost, almost persuaded To push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you! Let me take you away, I want to be your man." Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it The reflection of my, my wedding band.
Oh but I was almost, almost persuaded To let another, let another's lips touch mine And I was almost, almost persuaded To push my conscience aside Yes I was almost, i was almost persuaded But your sweet love made me stop, stop and go home
