No New Year`s day, to celebrate,

no chocolate covered candy hearts to give away. 
            Dm      Dm7        Dm Dm7                    
No first of spring, no song to sing, 
        Dm                  G        C
in fact here`s just another ordinary day.

No April rain, no flowers bloom,

no wedding Saturday within the month of June. 
            Dm  Dm7          Dm  Dm7                    
But what it is, is something true, 
           Dm                     G             C
made up of these three words that I must say to you. 
  
Chorus:
       Dm        G     C              
I just called to say I love you, 
       F         G              Am 
I just called to say how much I care. 
       Dm        G     C                       
I just called to say I love you, 
      F                G            C 
and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

No summer`s high, no warm July, 
           C                               Dm  Dm7 
no harvest moon to light one tender August night. 
          Dm      Dm7        Dm    Dm7 
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves, 
         Dm                G               C
not even time for birds to fly to southern skies.

No Libra Sun, no Halloween, 
          C                                   Dm   Dm7 
no giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring. 
            Dm  Dm7            Dm  Dm7 
But what it is, though old, so new. 
             Dm                  G                C 
to fill your heart like no three words could ever do.
