no New years Day to celebrate,
No chocolate covered candy heart
to give away,
no first of spring, no songs to sing,
In fact, here’s just another ordinary day.
Chorus:
I just called to say
I love you;
I just called to say how match
I care;
I just called to say
I love you,
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
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 words
that I must say to you.
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 Helloween,
No giving thanks for
All the Christmas joy you bring,
But what it is,
Tho’ old, so new,
To fill heart like no three words
Could ever do.
