Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget, I'd regret

The special love I had for you
My baby blue

All those days became so long
Did you really think I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know, I would show

The special love I had for you
My baby blue

What can I do? What can I say?
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you? Show me a way
Don't you know the times I've tried

Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, and let me know, let it grow

The special love you had for me
My Dixie dear
