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 funny as you went out the door

that i'd have another one a waitin' i'd wave goodbye as you go

but a little bitty tear. everything went out like i planned it and i really put on quite a show

i thought that i was gonna stand it but when you've got through the door

but a little bitty tear. when you said you were leaving.
