Blue Orchids

Blue Orchids
music and lyric by Hoagy Carmichael

It's often been said that rich he'll be who dreams of something blue.

Richer I shall always be for that's how I found you...

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 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.
