Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

When I want rain I get sunny weather

I'm just as blue, blue as the sky

Since love has gone can't pull myself together

Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

[Verse 3]

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, got to get a new alibi

You lie 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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

When you're 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 she passed me right by, oh, well

I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

That's the time you miss him most of all

Tears out to dry
