Blue Orchids
Hoagy Carmichael
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 in 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
When you looked at me
It was plain to see
Blue orchids only bloom in your eyes
