Last night I came home and I knocked at my door
I called for my love as oft I had before
I called once again but no answer there came
No sweet lips to greet me, no voice called my name
[chorus]
I couldn t believe it was true oh Lord I couldn t believe it was true
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
I couldn t believe it was true
I let myself in and I walked to our bed
I found a note there and a message I read
The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn
My sweetheart had left me, my darling was gone
(chorus)
The shock was so great I am quivering yet
I ll try to forgive her but I cannot forget
My heartbreaking loss is another mans gain
Her happiness always I hope will remain
(chorus)
