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
