Webb Pierce I Overlooked An Orchid Lyrics

The 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

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
