Some folks were meant to live in clover But they are such a chosen few And clovers 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 we met the world was bright n' 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 know the thrill of loving you That alone is more than I was created for Cause I was born to be blue When we met the world was bright n' 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 know the thrill of loving you That alone is more than I was created for Cause I was born, I was born, I was born I was born to be blue
