Lyrics
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 under-stand
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
The orchid that I over looked 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 it's 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
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
The orchid that I over looked was you
The rose that I was searching for
has proved to be untrue
The orchid now I find my dear was you
