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...
[ strings ]
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...
