Born to Be Blue

Born to be blue

Chet Baker

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

but that alone is more

than I was created for

'cause I was born to be blue

When I met you

the world was bright and sunny

but when you left the curtain fell

I’d like to laugh

but there's nothing that strikes me funny

now my world's a faded pastel

I guess I’m luckier than some folks... (repeat)
