The orchid is a flower [C] that blooms so [G] tenderly
[E] It [D] thrilled the [G] fairest lady [D] of the land
[G] It placed beside a blushing rose
[C] The rose could not [G] compare
But power was such [D] as I had to [G] understand
I overlooked an orchid [C] while searching [G] for the rose
The orchid that I overlooked [D] was you
[F#]
[G] The rose that I was searching [C] for has grown to [G] be untrue
The orchid [D] that I find, my [G] dear, was you
The
[D]
[G]
rose has lost its [B] color
[C] But the orchid [G] stays the same
And I'm alone to face [D] these lonely years
[G] I didn't see the orchid
[C] I was looking for [G] the rose
And now I pay [D] the price with [G] bitter tears
