I Couldn't Believe It Was True

Eddy Arnold

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...
