This song is written about a girl named Dixie whom vocalist Pete Ham met while on a 1971 U.S. Tour stop in Wichita, Kansas. When the group returned home to England, they broke up, but maintained that they would keep in touch with each other. The line "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" was written because he hadn't seen her for a few months and he thought Dixie was angry. And the rest is self-explanatory. He loved Dixie!
