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
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
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 a way
Don't you know the times I've tried
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, baby, let me know
Let it grow
The special love you have for me
My dixie dear
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 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
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 a way
Don't you know the times I've tried
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, baby, let me know
Let it grow
The special love you have for me
My dixie dear
