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
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 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
THAT I FIND MY DEAR
WAS YOU
