《I Overlooked An Orchid》歌词

[00:00:00] I Overlooked An Orchid - Carl Smith (卡尔·史密斯)

[00:00:08] The orchid is a flower

[00:00:12] That blooms so tenderly

[00:00:16] To thrill the fairest lady of the land

[00:00:24] If placed beside a blushing rose

[00:00:28] The rose could not compare

[00:00:32] But how was such as I to understand

[00:00:40] I overlooked an orchid

[00:00:44] While searching for a rose

[00:00:49] The orchid that I overlooked was you

[00:00:56] The rose that I was searching

[00:01:00] For has proved to be untrue

[00:01:05] The orchid now I find my dear was you

[00:01:46] The rose has lost its color

[00:01:50] But the orchid is the same

[00:01:54] And I'm alone to face these lonely years

[00:02:02] I didn't see the orchid

[00:02:06] I was looking for a rose

[00:02:10] And now I pay the price with bitter tears

[00:02:19] 'Cause I overlooked an orchid

[00:02:23] While searching for a rose

[00:02:27] The orchid that I overlooked was you

[00:02:35] The rose that I was searching

[00:02:39] For has proved to be untrue

[00:02:44] The orchid now I find my dear was you
