I Overlooked An Orchid While Searching For A Rose
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 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


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
