I Overlooked an Orchid

歌詞

The orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly To thrill the fairest lady of the land If placed beside a blushing rose the rose could not compare But how was such as I to understand I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose The orchid that I overlooked was you The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue The orchid now I find my dear was you The rose has lost its color but the orchid is the same And I'm alone to face these lonely years I didn't see the orchid I was looking for a rose And now I pay the price with bitter tears 'Cause I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose The orchid that I overlooked was you The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue The orchid now I find my dear was you
