I Couldn't Believe It Was True Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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...
