I Couldn't Believe It Was True

Well, last night I came home an' I knocked on my door,
 An' I called to my love as I oft had before.
 An' I knocked an' I knocked: no answer thee came.
 No kisses to greet me or voice call my name.
 An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord.
 Couldn't believe it was true.
 An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must've aged in years,
 An' I couldn't believe it was true.
 Instrumental break.
 Well, the shock was so great, I am quiverin' yet.
 An' I'll try to forgive but I cannot forget.
 My heart breakin' loss is another man's gain.
 Her happiness, always, I hope will remain.
 An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord.
 Couldn't believe it was true.
 An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must've aged in years,
 An' I couldn't believe it was true.
