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
Pull of funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another one a waiting
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
I really put on quite a show
I thought that I was gonna stand it
But when you've got through the door

Then 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
