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, can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
In the wee small hours of the morning
My friends ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
I've got to get to get a new alibi
You lie you awake and think about the boy
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 string of dreams
My little memories, those little memories
Remind her of our crazy schemes
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
Then somebody said, just forget about her
You'd be his if only he would call
And I gave that treatment a try
In the wee small hours
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day he passed me right by oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
That's the time you missed her most of all
tears out to dry
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, can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
In the wee small hours of the morning
My friends ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
I've got to get to get a new alibi
You lie you awake and think about the boy
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 string of dreams
My little memories, those little memories
Remind her of our crazy schemes
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
Then somebody said, just forget about her
You'd be his if only he would call
And I gave that treatment a try
In the wee small hours
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day he passed me right by oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
That's the time you missed her most of all
tears out to dry
