The special love I had for you, my ____ ____
All the 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
The special love I have for you, my ____ ____
This English band evolved from one initially formed in the early 60s. In 1968, they were signed by the Beatles' Apple label, and adopted their new name in 1969.
In the early 70s, they enjoyed four worldwide hits, of which this song was one. Unfortunately, they eventually became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records dissolution, and made an unwise choice in hiring a new manager, further complicating their problems.
Unable to record for another label due to legal issues, the group fell into despair and financial hardship, leading to the eventual suicides of two of the original four members. New members were recruited and the group (sometimes two groups both using the band's name, and each claming to be the "original") began to record and tour, but they never regained their former lustre.
Now there's an uplifting story, huh?
Anyway, I still like the song, lol.
Sounds a lot like Baby Blue - Badfinger.
A was not a big Badfinger fan but liked them in their Iveys days

Some 1961 to stretch your memories -
They hollered and whistled never wanted to stop
We pony and twisted and we rocked with Daddy G
