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 the way

Times you know,

The times I've tried



Guess that's all I have to say

"Cept the feelin' just grows 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
