Some folks were meant to live in clover, 
But they are such a chosen few. 
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 
Moonbeams being gold is 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. 
That alone is more than I was created for 
'Cause I was born to be blue. 
'Cause I was born to be blue.
