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
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
