I Overlooked An Orchid

[Verse]
G G7 C G
The orchid is a flower that blooms so tender'ly
D7
To thrill the fairest lady of the land
G G7
If placed beside a blush'in rose
C G
the rose could not compare
D7 G
But how was such as I to under- stand

[Chorus]
G C G
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
D7
The orchid that I over looked was you
G G7
The rose that I was search-ing for,
C G
has proved to be un- true
D7 G
The orchid now I find my dear was you

[Verse 2]
G
The rose has lost it's color
C G
But the orchid is the same
D7
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly years
G
I didn't see the orchid
C G
I was look- ing for a rose
D7 G
And now I pay the price with better tears
