[Verse]
GThe orchid is a flower G7that Cblooms so Gtender'ly
To thrill the fairest lady of the D7land
If Gplaced beside a blush'in G7rose
the Crose could not Gcompare
But how was such as D7I to under- Gstand
[Chorus]
GI over looked an orchid while Csearch-ing for a Grose
The orchid that I over looked was D7you
The Grose that I was search-ing G7for,
has Cproved to be un- Gtrue
The orchid now I D7find my dear was Gyou
[Verse 2]
The Grose has lost it's color
But the Corchid is the Gsame
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly D7years
I Gdidn't see the orchid
I was look- Cing for a Grose
And now I pay the D7price with better Gtears
[Chorus]
GI over looked an orchid while Csearch-ing for a Grose
The orchid that I over looked was D7you
The Grose that I was search-ing G7for,
has Cproved to be un- Gtrue
The orchid now I D7find my dear was Gyou
