I Couldn't Believe It Was True

Last night I come home and I knocked on my door I called to my love as I oft had before I knocked and I knocked but no answer it came No kisses to greet me no voice called my name I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true My eyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years I couldn't believe it was true I let myself in and I walk to our bed I found a note there and the message it read The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn My sweetheart had left me my darling had gone I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord The shock was so great I am quivering yet I tried to forgive but I cannot forget My heartbreaking loss is another man's gain Her happiness always I hope will remain I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord
