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
