I Overlooked An Orchid (While Searching For A Rose) Composer(s): Carl Story; Shirly Lynn; Carl Smith Performer(s): Carl Smith and multiple other artists
The orchid is a flower That blooms so tenderly To thrill the fairest lady of the land If placed beside a blushin' 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
