verse 1
Last night I came home and I knocked at my door
And I called for my love as I oft had before
I called once again but no answer there came
No sweet lips to greet me no voice call my name
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord
I couldn't believe it was true
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
I couldn't believe it was true
Instrumental
verse 2
I let myself in and I walked to our bed
I found a note there and the message I read
The truth like a bolt from the blue then begone
My sweetheart had left me my darling was gone
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord
I couldn't believe it was true
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
I couldn't believe it was true
Instrumental
verse 3
The shock was so great I am quivering yet
I'll try to forgive her but I cannot forget
My heartbreaking loss is another man's gain
Her happiness I hope will always remain
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord
I couldn't believe it was true
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
I couldn't believe it was true
