Almost Persuaded

The world outside my mind
Is sometimes cruel and sometimes kind
I’ve laughed until I’ve cried
But who remembers, who decides?
Moments and memories
That don’t last long
Forever golden air of tenderness
My heart won’t let me go
My mind won’t let me say
Until the night throughout promises
I was almost persuaded to stay
And someday you may find
Another love, another time
Don’t think I didn’t try
In spite of all
I tried to hide
One day you’ll need someone
But I’ll be gone
Forever golden air of tenderness
My heart won’t let me go
My mind won’t let me say
Until the night throughout promises
I was almost persuaded to stay
