I Just Called To Say I Love You
Emmerson Nogueira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 April rain
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 summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not 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 do
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 do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
Of my heart
Emmerson Nogueira's song "I Just Called to Say I Love You" is a beautiful love song that talks about the importance of expressing love to someone, no matter the day or season. The song is basically about how love doesn't need a specific day or special occasion to be expressed, it can be shown anytime, any day. The artist talks about how there are no holidays, celebrations, or seasons to mark for displaying love, but the three words "I love you" have the power to fill a person's heart with happiness and affection.
The first two stanzas describe how there is no significant event like New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, or the first day of spring to celebrate, no special events to mark. The next two describe how there are no flowers blooming in April, no wedding Saturdays in June; it paints the picture of the absence of usual seasons that accompany love.
The third and last stanzas talk about how there is no summer's high or warm July, no autumn breeze or falling leaves, aiming to imply that love doesn't need a special occasion or holiday to express itself. The artist declares that what it is though old so new fills the heart like no three words could ever do.
In summary, the lyrics of this song reinforce that love is an evergreen expression that can be shared with loved ones anytime, anywhere.
