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
