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.

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.

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.
