Lyrics
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 their moonbeams I should view
But moonbeams bring 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 wanna laugh but nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded party
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
For I was born to be blue.
Writer(s): Mel Torme, Robert Wells
