(Pete Ham)

Verse 1:
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

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
