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.

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
The lyrics to Vicky Leandros's song "Love" convey a sense of simplicity and sincerity in expressing love. The song begins by highlighting the absence of traditional celebrations and special moments throughout the year, such as New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, and the changing seasons. Despite the lack of these conventional markers, the singer emphasizes that what they want to express is something true and meaningful. They then proceed to say three powerful words: "I love you," which holds significant weight and fills the heart in a way that nothing else can.
Throughout the song, the lyrics continue to stress that love transcends external circumstances and traditional holidays. The absence of summer, autumn, and various holidays is juxtaposed with the enduring sentiment of love. The message is clear: love is not confined to specific moments or events but is a constant presence that can be cherished at any time.
The repetition of the phrase "I just called to say I love you" emphasizes the simplicity and directness of the communication of love. It conveys a sense of urgency as if the singer cannot contain their feelings any longer and must express them in the most straightforward way possible. The mention of calling specifically adds a personal touch, as it implies a direct connection between the singer and the recipient of their affection.
Overall, the lyrics of "Love" convey a beautiful sentiment about the power of love to transcend time and tradition. It reminds us that expressing our love and appreciation to someone can be done at any moment and in its simplest form, leaving a lasting impact on their heart.
