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
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
THAT I FIND
MY DEAR WAS YOU
4 BAR
BREAK
THE ROSE
HAS LOST ITS COLOR
BUT THE ORCHID
STAYS THE SAME
AND I'M ALONE
TO FACE
THESE LONELY YEARS
I DIDN'T SEE THE ORCHID
I WAS SEARCHIN'
FOR A ROSE
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
THAT I FIND
MY DEAR WAS YOU
