Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry Lyrics


The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And as the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feelsWhen 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 dryFriends 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 dryDry little teardrops, my little teardrops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, my little memories
Remind him pf our crazy schemesAnd somebody said just forget about him
I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I get along without him
Then one day he passed me right by
Oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to drySomebody said just forget about him
I gave that treatment a try

Strangely enough I get along without him
Then one day he passed me right by
Oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Dexter Gordon (February 27, 1923 – April 25, 1990) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He was among the earliest tenor players to adapt the bebop musical language of people such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell to the instrument. His studio and live performance career spanned over 40 years. Gordon's height was 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm), so he was also known as "Long Tall Dexter" and "Sophisticated Giant". He played a Conn 10M Lady Face until 1964. He lost the instrument in a Paris hotel and then switched over to a Selmer Mark VI.
