Some folks were meant to live in clover
But they are such a chosen few, chosen few
And 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, 
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 curtain fell
I'd like to laugh but nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well
I guess I'm luckier than some folks
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
And 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
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh but nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well
I guess I'm luckier than some folks
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
And that alone is more than 
I was created for'
Cause I was born to be blue
