Lyrics Ray Charles

Ray Charles

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, oh well

I guess I'm luckier than some folks

I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you

And 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

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, lovin' you

And that alone is more than I was created for

'Cause I was born to be blue
