A little bitty tear

When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day
I said there’d be no sorrow that I’d laugh when you walked away
But a little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown but a little bitty tear let me down

I said I’d laugh when you left me full of funnies as you went out the door
That I’d have another was waiting I’d wave goodbye as you go
But a little bitty tear

Everything went like I planned it and I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it till she walked with a grip through the door
But a little bitty tear
A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down
