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 waitin' I'd wave goodbye as you go 
But a little bitty tear... 

Everything went out like I planned it and I really put on quite a show 
I thought that I was gonna stand it but when you've got through the door 
But a little bitty tear... 
When you said you were leaving...
