Some folks were meant to live in clover
But they´re such a chosen few
And clovers being green is something I´ve never seen
Cause I was born to be blue hey

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 with you but there´s nothing that 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
And that alone is more than I was created for
Cause I was born to be blue
