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
   Woo woo woo
   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
