Almost Persuaded-Louis Armstrong

Last night, all alone at a party I met a woman with a drink in her hand She had soft brown eyes and coal black hair And a smile a boy could understand Then she came and sat down at my table And placed her warm hand on mine, now And I found myself wanting, longing to kiss her, yes I did For temptation was flowing like wine And oh I was all, almost persuaded To strip myself apart, apart, yes Oh almost, nearly persuaded now To push my, push my ole conscience right on the side Then we danced, then we danced, she whispered, "Baby, I need you now" She said to me, "Let me take you away, ooh I wanna be your woman" Than I looked in her eyes and I saw it, yeah I saw it I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band Oh I was almost, almost, almost persuaded, yes I was To let a strange lips, somebody's lips lure me, lure me on, now Oh I was almost, yeah nearly, nearly persuaded But your, your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go on
