Born to Be Blue

Some folks were meant to live in clover

But they are just a chosen few

And clover bein' green

Is somethin' I've never seen

For I was born to be blue

When there's a yellow moon above me

They say they're moonbeams I should view

But moonbeams bein' gold

Are somethin' I can't behold

For I was born to be blue

When I met you

The world was bright and sunny

When you left the curtain fell

I like to laugh

But nothin' 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 lovin' you

And that alone is more

Than I was created for

For I was born to be blue

I guess I'm luckier than some folks

I've known the thrill of lovin' you

But I was born to be blue

But I was born to be blue

For I was born to be blue
