Lyrics

No New Year’s (Db)Day

to cel e brate;

no choc ’late cov ered can dy hearts to give a way.

No first of (Ebm)spring;

no song to (Ebm7)sing.

In fact, here’s (Ebm)just an oth er or di nar y day.

No A pril (Db)rain;

no flow ers bloom;

no wed ding Sat ur day with in the month of June.

But what it (Ebm)is

is some thing (Ebm7)true,

made up of (Ebm)these three words that I di nar y day.

No A pril 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 bot tom of my (Db)heart.

No sum mer’s (Db)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 bot tom of my (Db)heart,

(A)of my

(B)heart,

of my

(Db)heart.
