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
