When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day  I said there'd be no sorrow 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  And I'd have another one a waitin' to wave goodbye as you go  But a little bitty tear let me down...  [ dobro ]  Everything went out like I planned it and I really put on quite a show  And I thought I could stand it until you got through the door  But a little bitty tear let me down...  A little bitty tear let me down
