blue orchids
I dreamed of two blue orchids Two beautiful blue orchids One night while in my lonely room I dreamed of two blue orchids So full of love and light That I wanted to possess each tender bloom Then my dream took wings And through a thousand springs Blue orchids seemed in a world apart But when I met you Something pale and blue Came stealing from the meadows of my heart I saw my two blue orchids My beautiful blue orchids Last night and what a sweet surprise When you looked at me It was plain to see Blue orchids only bloom in your eyes
