I Overlooked an Orchid

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 it's 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...
