Introduction / Theme (For You) No. 2 - George Shearing Quintet

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…

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 waiting I’d wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear…

Everything went 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

Then a little bitty tear…

A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down
