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 there's 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'd like to 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
