Born To Be Blue

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, 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 lovin' you And that alone is more than I was created for 'Cause I was born to be blue --- Born to Be Blue - Mel Tormé
