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 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)
