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.
