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 funnies as you went out the door

That I'd have another was waiting I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear...

[ guitar - steel ]

Everything went like I planned it and I really put on quite a show

In my heart I felt I could stand it till she walked with a grip through the door

But a little bitty tear...

A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down
