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 I met you The world was bright and sunny When you left the courtain fell I'd like to laugh But nothing strikes me funny Now my world's a faded pastel I guess I'm luckier than some folks I've known the thrill of loving you But that alone is more Than I was created for Cause I was born to be blue When I met you The world was bright and sunny But when you left the courtain fell I'd like to laugh But there's nothing that strikes me funny Now my world's a faded pastel I guess i'm luckier than some folks I've known the thrill of loving you But that alone is more Than I was created for Cause I was born to be blue Cause I was born to be blue Cause I was born to be blue
