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
