Intro 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
