Wanda Jackson: "A Little Bitty Tear" Lyrics

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' I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear...

[ strings ]

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

But a little bitty tear...

When you said you were leaving...
