Born To Be Blue Lyrics

By: Mel Torme and R. Wells 
Some folks were meant to live in clover 
But they are such a chosen few, 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, 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, oh well 

I guess I'm luckier than some folks 
Woo woo woo 
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you 
And that alone is more than I was created for 
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, oh well 

I guess I'm luckier than some folks 
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you 
And that alone is more than I was created for 
Cause I was born to be blue 
Woo woo
