The Platters
Orchids in the Moonlight
[Verse 1]
When orchids bloom in the moonlight
And lovers vow to be true
I still can feel in the moonlight
Of one dear love that we knew

[Verse 2]
When orchids fade in the dawning
They speak of tears and goodbyes
Though my dreams are shattered
Like the petals scattered
Still my love can never die

[Verse 3]
There is peace in the twilight
When the day is through
But the shadows that fall
Only seem to recall
All my longing for you

[Verse 4]
There is a dream in the moonbeams
Upon the sea of blue
But the moonbeams that fall
Only seem to recall
Love is all, love is you
[Verse 1]
When orchids bloom in the moonlight
And lovers vow to be true
I still can dream in the moonlight
Of one dear night that we knew

[Verse 2]
When orchids fade in the dawning
They speak of tears and goodbyes
Though my dreams are shattered
Like the petals scattered
Still my love can never die

[Outro]
Though my dreams are shattered
Like the petals scattered
Still my love can never die
