A Little Bitty Tear

(Hank Cochran)



When you said you were leaving tomorrow

That today was our last day

I said there would 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

Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.



I said that I would laugh when you left me

Pull a funny as you went out the door

That I'd have me another for a wedding

Yes, 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 make a frown

Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.



Everything went like a planned it

And I really put on quite a show

In my heart I felt I could stand it

Till you walked with your grip through the door.



Then a little bitty tear let me down

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not make a frown

Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.



A little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down...
