The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its 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 friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've 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 precious memories

Remind me of our crazy schemes

Then somebody says, just forget about her

But 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
