Born to Be Blue

Some folks were meant to live in clover

But they are such a chosen few

And clover being green is something I've never seen

'Cause I was born to be blue

When there's a yellow moon above me

They say them moonbeams I should view

But moonbeams being gold are something I can't behold

'Cause I was born to be blue

When I met you, the world was bright and sunny

When you left, the curtain fell

I wanna laugh, but nothing strikes me funny

Now my world's a faded pastel, well

I guess I'm luckier than some folks

I've known the thrill of loving you

And that alone is more than I was created for

'Cause I was born to be blue

For I was born to be blue
