And I Love Her
The Columbia Ballroom Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
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
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, baby of my heart
The lyrics of The Columbia Ballroom Orchestra's song "And I Love Her" speak of the absence of typical celebrations or events throughout the year, but these things do not stop the singer from expressing their love to someone. The lyrics evoke a sense of monotony and weariness with life's routines as no special event or moment gives character to an otherwise ordinary day, and yet, the feeling of love is what makes the ordinary extraordinary. Despite the absence of traditional markers of time, the singer acknowledges the power of love to help them through the year.
