I Just Called to Say I Love You
A Celebration of Everyday Love: I Just Called to Say I Love You
Lyrics
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No special celebration for New Year's Day
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No romantic gestures like giving chocolate covered candy hearts
No first of spring
No significant beginning of spring
No song to sing
No particular song to express feelings
In fact here's just another ordinary day
Just an ordinary day without much significance
No April rain
No rain typical of April
No flowers bloom
No blossoming flowers
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
No weddings on Saturdays in June
But what it is, is something true
But the important thing is something genuine
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
Expressing love through three simple words
I just called to say I love you
Directly stating the reason for the call: to say "I love you"
I just called to say how much I care
Reiterating the purpose: to express care and affection
I just called to say I love you
Repeatedly expressing love through the phone call
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Expressing sincerity from the depth of the heart
No summer's high
No joyous moments like those in summer
No warm July
No warmth typically felt in July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No romantic moonlight in August
No autumn breeze
No cool autumn breeze
No falling leaves
No leaves falling in autumn
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No time for migration of birds
No Libra sun
No mention of the zodiac sign Libra or its associated attributes
No Halloween
No celebration of Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
No specific gratitude expressed for bringing Christmas joy
But what it is, though old so new
Despite being an old sentiment, it feels new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
Expressing a love that fills the heart unlike any words
I just called to say I love you
Reiteration of calling to express love
I just called to say how much I care, I do
Restating care and affection being communicated
I just called to say I love you
Reaffirming the purpose of the call: to express love
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Reiterating the depth of sincerity in the expression of love
I just called to say I love you
Repeatedly conveying love through the call
I just called to say how much I care, I do
Reaffirming the depth of care and affection
I just called to say I love you
Restating the primary reason for the call: to say "I love you"
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
Reiterating the profound depth of love from the heart
Of my heart
Emphasizing the source of the expressed love
I just called to say I love you
Restating the main reason for the call: to express love
I just called to say how much I care, I do
Reaffirming the depth of care and affection
I just called to say I love you
Reiterating the direct expression of love through the call
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
Emphasizing the depth and sincerity of the expressed love
Baby of my heart
Endearment expressed for the recipient's heart
