Carl Smith — Orchids Mean Goodbye

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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
