Little Bitty Tear

(Hank Cochran)



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'

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 to make a frown

But a little bitty tear let me down.

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.



Then 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.



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.



A little bitty tear left me down......
