The orchid is a flower
That blooms so tenderly
To thrill the fairest lady of the land
If placed beside a blushin' 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 now I find, my dear, was you
The rose has lost it's colour
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 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
