Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
music by Jule Styne (left)

The torch I carry is handsome. it's worth its heartache in ransom,
And 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,
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 teardrops, my little teardrops hanging on a string of dreams.
Fly little mem'ries, my little mem'ries, remind her 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 rightby.
Oh, well, I guess i'll hang my tears out to dry...
