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 cannot 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 now I find my dear was you
|
[ steel ]
|
The rose has lost its color but the orchid is 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...
