Almost Persuaded- by David Houston-英文诗词欣赏

　　Almost Persuaded--- by David Houston

　　Last night all alone in the bar room

　　Met a girl with a drink in her hand

　　She has ruby red eyes, cold black hair

　　And eyes that could tempt any man

　　And she came and sat down at my table

　　And there she placed her soft hand in mine

　　I found myself wanting to kiss her

　　For temptation was flowing like wine

　　And I Almost Persuaded

　　To strip myself off my pride

　　Almost Persuaded

　　To push my conscience aside

　　And we danced and she whispered,

　　“I need you”

　　Take me away from here and be my man

　　Then I looked into her eyes and I saw ----

　　The reflection of my wedding band

　　And I Almost Persuaded

　　To let strange lips lead me on

　　Almost Persuaded

　　But your sweet love made me

　　Stop and go home
