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 waiting I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear let me down...

(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
In my heart I felt I could stand it till I saw you walked through the door

But a little bitty tear let me down...
Yes a little bitty tear let me down
