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
Oh but a little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown oh 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
But that I'd have another way waitin' to wave goodbye as you go
Oh but a little bitty tear...

Well everything went like I planned it and I really put on quite a show
And I thought I was gonna stand it oh but when you got to the door
Well a little bitty tear...
Well a little bitty tear let me down
