[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
