Lyrics I Couldn't Believe It Was True - Roy Acuff

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
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
