Guess I got what I deserve,
Kept you waiting there, too long my love
All that time, without a word,

Didn't know you'd think, that I'd forget, or I'd regret
The special love I have 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,
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
except that I want you by my side

How can I show, you, show me a way
Don't you know, the times I tried (solo)
Guess that's all I have to say,

Except the feeling just gets stronger everyday
Just one thing, before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow

The special love, you have for me, my Dixie dear
