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

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 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

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
