Guess I got what I deserved I kept you waiting there too long, my love All that time without a word I didn't know you'd think that I'd forget Or I'd regret The special love I had for you My baby blue All the days became so long Did you really think I'd do you wrong Dixie, when I let you go I thought you'd realize that I would know I would show The special love I have for you My baby blue What can I do, what can I say 'Cept I want you by my side How can I show you, show me the way Don't you know the times I've tried I guess that's all I have to say 'Cept the feeling just grows stronger every day Just one thing before I go Take good care, and baby, let me know Let it grow The special love you have for me My Dixie dear
