Skeeter Davis Lyrics
"Little Bitty Tear"

(Hank Cochran)

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
You said there'd be no sorrow
And you'd laugh when I 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.

Well, I said I'd laugh when you left me
Full of funny as you went out the door
You said you'd have another one waiting
To wave goodbye as I 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 ---

Well everything went out like I planned it
Yes, you really put on quite a show
Well, I've thought that I was gonna stand it
Oh, when I walked to the door.

Oh, 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...
