The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth, it's heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

My friends ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've got to get, got to get a new alibi
I hang around 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
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those little memories
Remind her of our crazy schemes

Then somebody says, "Just forget about her"
And I gave that treatment a try
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
Tears out to dry
