about

Born to Be Blue is a popular American jazz standard written in 1946 by Mel Tormé and Robert Wells.

lyrics

Some folks were meant to live in clover
but they are such a chosen few
and clovers 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

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
