On 15 October 2006, Vicky Leandros was elected town councillor of the Greek harbor town of Piraeus on the Pasok list. Her task concerned the Cultural and International development of Piraeus. She also served as Deputy Mayor of Piraeus. It was announced in June 2008 that Leandros decided to leave her position in Greek politics with immediate effect, stating that she had underestimated the workload and time needed to fulfill her political obligations and that it had become impossible to combine those duties with her singing career.

I Just Called To Say I Love You
Vicky Leandros 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

This is a moment that's true and meaningful and not defined by any societal conventions or cultural expectations. It's a simple expression of love that carries a significant weight and impact.
The singer uses this opportunity to tell their loved one how much they care about them. There are no fancy words or grand gestures in this expression of love; it's just the three simple words "I love you."

Line by Line Meaning
No New Year's Day to celebrate
There's no specific occasion for me to express my feelings for you
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
I don't need a gift to show my love for you
No first of spring, No song to sing
Nothing extraordinary is taking place today
In fact here's just another ordinary day
Today is like any other day, but that doesn't stop me from telling you how I feel
No April rain, No flowers bloom
There's no external inspiration for me to express my love
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
There's no particular event that is prompting me to say this
But what it is, is something true
My love for you is authentic and real
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
The words 'I Love You' are simple but powerful and I need to say them
No summer's high, No warm July
Even in summer, when everything is supposed to be wonderful, I still feel the same about you
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
Even when there's no picturesque image to symbolize love, I still feel it for you
No autumn breeze, No falling leaves
Even in autumn, when everything is supposed to be romantic, I still love you the same
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
Even when there's not enough time, I want to make sure I tell you I love you
No Libra sun, No Halloween
Even when there are no occasions or astrological events, I still love you
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
Even if there's no specific festive occasion, I still appreciate everything you do for me
But what it is, though old so new
This love may be common, but it is still fresh for me
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
My words have a special meaning and will bring you happiness
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
These are not just empty words, my love is sincere
I just called to say I love you
I want to express my love over the phone
I just called to say how much I care
I want you to know how much you mean to me
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, baby of my heart
My love is deep and sincere, and I want you to know that
