LyricMeaning

I Overlooked an Orchid
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

[ steel ]


The rose has lost it's 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...
