"Born To Be Blue" lyrics

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 we met the world was bright n' 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 know the thrill of loving you
That alone is more than I was created for
Cause I was born to be blue

When we met the world was bright n' 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 know the thrill of loving you
That alone is more than I was created for
Cause I was born, I was born, I was born
I was born to be blue
