Tommy collins i overlooked an orchid (while searching for a rose lyrics

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 would 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



[ guitar ]



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...
