I overlooked an Orchid Carl Smith
(Written by C. Smith, C. Story, S. Lynn)
Recorded 07/18/1950
VERSE 1:[C]
(C)The orchid is a flower (C7)that (F)blooms so (C)tender'ly
To thrill the fairest lady of the (G7)land
If (C)placed beside a blush'in (C7)rose
the (F)rose could not (C)compare
But how was such as (G7)I to under-(C)stand
CHORUS:
(C)I over looked an orchid while (F)search-ing for a (C)rose
The orchid that I over looked was (G7)you
The (C)rose that I was search-ing (C7)for,
has (F)proved to be un-(C)true
The orchid now I (G7)find my dear was (C)you
VERSE 2:
The (C)rose has lost it's color
But the (F)orchid is the (C)same
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly (G7)years
I (C)didn't see the orchid
I was look-(F)ing for a (C)rose
And now I pay the (G7)price with better (C)tears
REPEAT CHORUS:
