Mel Tormé - Compact Jazz: Mel Torme

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
For 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
For 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, oh well

I guess I'm luckier than some folks
I've known the thrill of lovin' you
And that alone is more than I was created for
For I was born to be blue

For I was born to be blue
