Ella Fitzgerald - (i Was) 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

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.
