I Couldn't Believe It Was True

[Verse 1] Well, 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; no answer there came No kisses to greet me, no voice called my name [Chorus] And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord 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 [Verse 2] Well, the shock was so great I am quivering yet And I'll try to forgive but I cannot forget My heart breaking loss is another man's gain Her happiness, always, I hope will remain [Chorus] And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord 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
