This Orchid Means Good Bye
by Carl Smith written by B Bryant and M Webb
C G7 C
Tonight I send an orchid
F
And though I'll always care
C
This orchid means goodbye to you
G7
And to our love affair
C
It's just my way to tell you
F
And I hope that you want cry
C
But I belong to someone else
G7 C
This orchid means goodbye
G7 C
When you said that you loved me
F
I knew it wouldn't do
C
Cause I'm in love with someone else
G7
I guess I love you too
C
But I'm married to another
F
What chance of you and I
C
So I just send an orchid dear
G7 C
This orchid means goodbye
G7 C
Our love might have been different
F
But I made sacred vows
C
And I can't ever break the heart
G7
That I hold with mine now
C
So please forget the past dear
F
As time goes passing by
C
Cause we can't ever love again
G7 C
This orchid means goodbye
