Jule Styne
Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
[Verse]
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, I tell them that I'm busy
Gotta find a new alibi
I sit at home, and ask myself "Where is she?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drop, my little tear drop
Hanging on a stream of dreams
Fly, little memory, my little memory
Reminds me of my crazy scheme
Somebody said "Just forget about her"
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
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
Somebody said "Just forget about her"
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
To dry, to dry, to dry
