Jule Styne
Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out to Dry
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, I 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

[Verse 2]
Dry, little teardrops, my little teardrops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, my little memories
Remind her of our crazy schemes

[Chorus]
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
