When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
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
Said I'd laugh when you left me
Full of funny as you went out the door
And I'd have another one a waitin'
To wave goodbye as you go
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
Everything went out like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
And I thought I could stand it
Until you got through the door
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
A little bitty tear let me down
