I Overlooked An Orchid

A 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.
 --- Instrumental ---
 The rose has lost it's color, but the orchid stays 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.
 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.
 The orchid that I find my dear was you...
