I Overlooked An Orchid (while Searching For A Rose

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 looking for a rose



And now I pay the price with bitter tears



Cause I overlooked an orchid...
