I Couldn't Believe It Was True

Last night I came home and I knocked on my door

And I called to my love as I oft' had before

And I knocked and I knocked, but no answer there came

No kisses to greet me, no voice called my name

And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord

I couldn't believe it was true

And my eyes filled with tears and I must've aged ten years

And I couldn't believe it was true

Well, the shock was so great I am quivering yet

And I'll try to forgive but I can not forget

My heartbreak and loss is another man's gain

And her happiness always I hope will remain

And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord

I couldn't believe it was true

And my eyes filled with tears and I must've aged ten years

And I couldn't believe it was true
