No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say, I love you
I just called to say, how much I care
I just called to say, I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say, I love you
I just called to say, how much I care, I do
I just called to say, I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say, I love you
I just called to say, how much I care, I do
I just called to say, I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, of my heart

I just called to say, I love you
I just called to say, how much I care, I do
I just called to say, I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, of my heart

    I listen to this song day in and day out just because it has this happy and sad feeling to it....atleast thats how it seems to me....however....I cannot relate to this song because I never had a girlfriend....but still I end up breaking down in tears from time to time when I listen to this song
