ELLA FITZGERALD - (I Was) Born To Be Blue lyrics

rate me

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

'Cause I was born to be blue.
