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
  I'd regret
  
  chorus:
  
  The special love i had for you
  My baby blue
  
  verse 2:
  All those 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
  
  chorus:
  The special love i had for you
  My baby blue
  
   bridge:
  What can i do?
  What can i say?
  Except i want you by my side
  How can i show you?
  Show me a way
  Don't you know the times i've tried
  
  instrumental verse:
  
  verse 3:
  Guess that's all i have to say
  Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
  Just one thing before i go
  Take good care baby, and let me know
  Let it grow
  
  chorus:
  The special love you had for me
  My dixie dear
