GUEST,The Master Gardener Lyr Req: Moon River (Mercer/Mancini) (21) Lyr/Chords Add: I OVERLOOKED AN ORCHID (Carl Smith 12 May 00


I Overlooked An Orchid
by Carl Smith
Written by C. Smith, C. Story, S. Lynn
Recorded 07/18/1950

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

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

VERSE 2:
The (G)rose has lost its color
But the (C)orchid is the (G)same
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly (D7)years
I (G)didn't see the orchid
I was look-(C)ing for a (G)rose
And now I pay the (D7)price with bitter (G)tears

REPEAT CHORUS:
