The torch I carry is handsome It's worth its heartache in ransom And when the twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue as the sky Since love is gone, can't pull myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Friends ask me out, and I tell them I'm busy Must get a new alibi I stay at home, and ask myself "Where is she?" Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops Hanging on a stream of dreams Fly, little mem'ries, my little mem'ries Remind her of our crazy schemes Yes, somebody said "Just forget about her" So I gave that treatment a try And strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by Oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
