Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, i'd do you wrong
Dixie, when i let you go
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, the times 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 me know, let it grow
The special love, you have for me, my dixie dear
