Chet Baker — Born to Be Blue

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] When I met you The world was bright and sunny 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, well [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus/Outro] 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 'Cause I was born to be blue 'Cause I was born to be blue
