Almost Persuaded

  A              A7          D
Last night, all alone in a party
    A                          E
I saw a man with a drink in his hand
        A      A7           D
He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair
         A            E          A      E7
And a smile that any girl could understand

[Verse]

  A                 A7               D
Then he came and he sat down at my table
   A                          E
And he placed his warm hand on mine
         A          A7           D
And I found myself wanting to kiss him
       A             E        A       E7
For temptation was flowing like wine

[Chorus]
   A               A7          D
And I was almost, almost persuaded
       A              E
To strip myself of my pride
   A           A7          D
I was almost, almost persuaded
    A        E7        A       E7
To push my conscience aside

[Verse]
   A              A7               D
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!
    A                        E
Let me take you away, I want to be your man."
    A              A7          D
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it
   A            E7          A           E7
The reflection of my, my wedding band

[Chorus]
     A               A7          D
Oh but I was almost, almost persuaded
       A               A7                E
To let another, let another's lips touch mine
    A               A7          D
And I was almost, almost persuaded
    A        E7        A       E7
To push my conscience aside
    A               A7          D
Yes I was almost, I was almost persuaded
       A                   E        D      D7    A
But your sweet love made me stop, stop and go home
