Little Bitty Tear

(Hank Cochran)



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.



--- Instrumental ---



I said I'd laugh when you left me

Full of funny as you went out the door

That I'd have another one waiting

I'd 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.



--- Instrumental ---



Everything went off like I 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.



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 let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down...
