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, that I'd do you wrong,
Dixie, when I let you go,
Thought you'd realize that I would know,
That 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 I tried and 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 it grow, let it show,
The special love you have for me, my Dixie dear.
