Blue Orchids Lyrics

Blue Orchids

Blue Orchids
Glenn Miller
- words and music by 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
