Sincerity

No new years day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away

No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact it 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 summers high
No warm july
No harvest moon to light one tender august night

No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
No 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 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 just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Of my heart
Of my heart
