No----------------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

No----------------rain,
No flowers bloom ,No wedding----------------within the month of -------------
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 summertime.
No warm ------------------
No harvest moon to light one tender-----------------night
No---------------------breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No ---------------------
No giving thanks to all the ----------------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 do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
