Some folks were meant to live in clover,
But they are just a chosen few.
'Cause 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 they're something I can't behold
'Cause I was born to be blue.

When I met you my world was bright and sunny
Then you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh but somehow nothing strikes me funny
Now my world is a faded pastel

Well, I guess I'm luckier than some folks,
'Cause 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.
