I Overlooked an Orchid

An orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly
 To please the fairest lady of the land
 When placed beside a blushing bride 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
 ♪
 Now the rose has lost it's color but the orchid's still the same
 And I am left 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 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
 I overlooked an orchid...
