This Orchid Means Goodbye - 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 want 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
