I Overlooked an Orchid Lyrics

INTRO: G
#1.
The 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.
INTERLUDE: G D G
#2.
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 looking 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.
