When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day You said there'd be no sorrow and you'd laugh when I 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 Well I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door You said you'd have another one waiting to wave goodbye as I go But a little bitty tear let me down... ( guitar - steel ) Well everything went out like I planned it yes you really put on quite a show Well I've thought thgat I was gonna stand it oh when I walked to the door Oh a little bitty tear let me down... A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down
