Willie Nelson - I Couldn't Believe It Was True lyrics

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.
