Some folks were meant to live in clover But they are such a chosen few And clover being green is something I've never seen Cause I was born to be blue And there's a yellow moon above me They say there's moonbeams I should view But moonbeams being gold is 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 Well, I guess I'm luckier than some folks I've known the thrill of loving 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 When I met you, the world was bright and sunny When you left, the curtain fell 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 Well, I guess I'm luckier than some folks I've known the thrill of loving you And that alone is more than I was created for Cause I was born to, to be blue
