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

No answer there came

No kisses to greet me

No voice called my nameAnd 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 have aged ten years

And I couldn't believe it was trueOh the shock was so great

I am quivering yet

And I'll try to forgive

But I cannot forget

My heartbreaking loss

Is another man's gain

And her happiness always

I hope will remainAnd 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 have aged ten years

And I couldn't believe it was true
