i was born to be blue

Ella Fitzgerald

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 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 but nothing 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 you.
And that alone is more than I was created for
