Lyrics
The torch I carry is handsome It's worth its heartache in ransom But 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: "Who 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, my little memories Remind me of our crazy schemes

Somebody said, just forget about her So 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
