Born to Be Blue Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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.
