[00:00:00] I Overlooked an Orchid(While Searching for a Rose) - Carl Smith (卡尔·史密斯)

[00:00:05] Written by：Shirly Lynn/Carl Story/Carl Smith

[00:00:10] The orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly

[00:00:19] To thrill the fairest lady of the land

[00:00:27] If placed beside a blushing rose

[00:00:32] The rose could not compare

[00:00:36] But how was such as I to understand

[00:00:44] I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose

[00:00:53] The orchid that I overlooked was you

[00:01:02] The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue

[00:01:10] The orchid now I find my dear was you

[00:01:27] The rose has lost its color but the orchid is the same

[00:01:36] And I'm alone to face these lonely years

[00:01:45] I didn't see the orchid I was looking for a rose

[00:01:53] And now I pay the price with bitter tears

[00:02:02] 'Cause I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose

[00:02:10] The orchid that I overlooked was you

[00:02:18] The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue

[00:02:27] The orchid now I find my dear was you
