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 I'm busy
I must get a new alibi
I stay at home
And ask myself where is he
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little teardrops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories
My little memories
Remind him of our crazy schemes
Somebody said just forget about him
So I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I got along without him

Then one day he passed me right by
Oh, well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
