I Overlooked an Orchid(While Searching for a Rose) - Carl Smith

Written by：Shirly Lynn/Carl Story/Carl Smith

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 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 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 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
