Lyrics for 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
