  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 that moon beams i should view;
  but moon beams, 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 want to laugh, but nothing strikes me funny;
  now my world's a faded pastel
  
  well, i guess i'm luck - i - er 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.
