I Overlooked Lyrics

I Overlooked (Original Mix) - Buddy Holly/The Crickets/Gary Dale

Lyrics by:Penniman

Composed by:Penniman

A orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly

 

It thrills the fairest lady of the land

 

If placed beside a blushing rose the rose could not compare

But how was such as I to understand

 

'Cause I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose

 

The orchid that I overlooked was you

 

The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue

 

The orchid that I find my dear was you

 

The rose has lost it's color but the orchid stays the same

And I'm alone to face these lonely years

 

I didn't see the orchid I was searching for a rose

 

And now I pay the price with bitter tears

 

'Cause I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose

The orchid that I overlooked was you

 

The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue

 

 

The orchid that I find my dear was you
