(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...
