This Orchid Means Goodbye Songtext
von Carl Smith

Tonight I send an orchid
And though I′ll always care
This orchid means goodbye to you
And to our love affair
It's just my way to tell you
And I hope that you won′t cry
But I belong to someone else
This orchid means goodbye


When you said that you loved me
I knew it wouldn't do
Cause I'm in love with someone else
I guess I love you too
But I′m married to another
What chance of you and I
So I just send an orchid dear

This orchid means goodbye

Our love might have been different
But I made sacred vows
And I can′t ever break the heart
That I hold with mine now
So please forget the past dear
As time goes passing by
Cause we can't ever love again
This orchid means goodbye
End
