Lyrics:
Lord, I guess we're to be congratulated
The devil tempted us, but he didn't win
Our bodies trembled with desire but we didn't weaken
The night that we came awfully close to sin
The touch of your warm body almost drove my mind insane
And I could see the hunger burning in your eyes
We held back our feelings, Lord, we fought them to the end
The night that we came awfully close to sin
We walked away from something almost tragic
And thought we'd never go this far again
We both had someone waiting home that we were betraying
The night that we came awfully close to sin
The touch of your warm body almost drove my mind insane
And I could feel the hunger burning in your eyes
But we held back our feelings, Lord, we fought them to the end
The night that we came awfully close to sin
We almost lit a fire we couldn't handle
But we put it out before it could begin
We stopped the tenderness we shared; one step short of loving
The night that we came awfully close to sin
The touch of your warm body almost drove my mind insane
And I could feel the hunger burning in your eyes
But, Lord, we fought them to the end
The night that we came awfully close to sin
