Some folks were meant to live in clover
 But they are such a chosen few
 And clover been green is something I’ve never seen
 ‘Cause I was born to be blue

When there’s a whole moon above me
 They say there’s moon beams I shoot
 But moon beams be involved
 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 our worlds are faded passed down

I guess I’m looking here that ain’t saying for
 I’ve known the thrill of loving you
 And that alone is more than what I was created for
 ‘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 our worlds are faded passed down

I guess I’m looking here that ain’t saying for
 I’ve known the thrill of loving you
 And that alone is more than what I was created for
 ‘Cause I was born to be blue
 ‘Cause I was born to be blue
