Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry - Rosemary Clooney, Count Basie Orchestra

The torch I carry is handsome

It’s worth its heartache in ransom

And when the twilights 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

Where 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 him of our crazy schemes

Somebody said

Just forget about him

I gave that treatment at try

Strangely enough

I got along without him

Then one day he passed me right by

Oh well

I guess I’ll hang my tears out to dry
