Born to Be Blue

And clover being green is something I've never seen
When you left the curtain fell
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well

I'd like to laugh but nothing strikes me funny
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
When I met you, the world was bright and sunny
When I met you the world was bright and sunny

And that alone is more than I was created for
'Cause I was born to be blue
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well
'Cause I was born to be blue

I guess I'm luckier than some folks

But moonbeams being gold, are something I can't behold
I guess I'm luckier than some folks
And that alone is more than I was created for

I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
I'd like to laugh but nothing strikes me funny
'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
When you left, the curtain fell
