Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry

Ray Charles · Sweet & Sour Tears [1997]

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, I can't get myself together

Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry



My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy

I've got to get a new alibi

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 stream of dreams

My little memories, those precious memories

Remind me of our crazy schemes



Then somebody says, "Just forget about her "

But 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
