A orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly

It thrills 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.



Chorus:

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 that I find my dear was you.

 

--- Instrumental ---



The rose has lost its color, but the orchid stays the same

And I'm alone to face these lonely years

I didn't see the orchid, I was searching for a rose

And now I pay the price with bitter tears.

 

Chorus:

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 that I find my dear was you.



The orchid that I find my dear was you...
