Lyrics
Texty
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And 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 as the sky
Since love is gone, can't hold myself together
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
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 tear drops, my little tear drops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, you're 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 guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
