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.

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 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.
