You Almost Slipped My Mind 
She walked right up to me and took me by the hand
An angel who could please most any man
She said to me I'm free and you're just my kind

And for a moment you almost slipped my mind
Almost you almost slipped my mind
I could taste taste her kisses in the wine
But your mem'ry came and found me just in time
But for a moment you almost slipped my mind

Now I can see how sometimes a man can be so blind
Let himself be led astray become the cheating kind
I'd found myself falling for that same old line
Yes for a moment you almost slipped my mind
Yes for a moment you almost slipped my mind
