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
