Verse 1 
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 
 
Repeat Riff C 
Verse 2 
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 
 
Riff D 
 
Chorus 
 
I just called to say I love you

Verse 3 
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 
 
Riff D
