born to be blue

Some folks were meant to live in clover
But they are such a chosen few
Clover being green is something I'll never see
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 is something I can't behold
Cause I was born to be blue
When I met you my world was bright and sunny
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh, but there's nothing that strikes me funny
My world is faded pastel
Well I guess I'm luckier than some folks
For 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
Tell me why
Tell me why
Why was I born to be blue?
Why?
