No new years [C]day to [Em]cele[C]brate
No [Em]chocolate [C]covered candy hearts to give a [F]way
No [Dm]first of spring, no song to [Dm]sing
In fact heres [Dm]just another [G]ordinary [C]day


No april [C]rain no [Em]flowers [C]bloom
No [Em]wedding [C]saturday within the month of [F]june
But what it [Dm]is, is something [Dm]true
Made up of [Dm]these three words that [G]I must say to [C]you


I just [F]called to [G]say I [C]love you
I just [F]called to [G]say how much I [Am]care
I just [F]called to [G]say I [Am]love you
And I [F]mean it from the [G]bottom of my [C]heart


No summers [C]high no [Em]warm [C]July
No [Em]harvest [C]moon to light one tender August [F]night
No [Dm]autumn breeze no falling [Dm]leaves
No even [Dm]time for birds to [G]fly to southern [C]skies


No libra [C]sun no [Em]hallo[C]ween
No [Em]giving [C]thanks to all the Christmas joy you [F]bring
But what it [Dm]is though old so [Dm]new
To fill your [Dm]heart like no three [G]words could ever [C]do


I just [F#]called to [Ab]say I [C#]love you
I just [F#]called to [Ab]say how much I [Bbm]care
I just [F#]called to [Ab]say I [Bbm]love you
And I [F#]mean it from the [Ab]bottom of my [C#]heart


I just [G]called to [A]say I [D]love you
I just [G]called to [A]say how much I [Bm]care
I just [G]called to [A]say I [Bm]love you
And I [G]mean it from the [A]bottom of my [D]heart.


Aucune chan[C]son, au[Em]cune sai[C]son
Au[Em]cun vio[C]lon n’aurait le charme de cet in[F]stant
Au[Dm]cun souvenir, aucun dé[Dm]sir
Aucun plai[Dm]sir ne serait ja[G]mais assez [C]grand


Que te re[C]voir [Em]dans mon histoi[C]re
Dans [Em]ce miroir ou [C]nous avons été a[F]mants
Nos [Dm]soirs de fêtes nos cœurs po[Dm]ètes
Etait fait [Dm]pour écrire les [G]page d’un ro[C]man


Pour te [F]dire je [G]t’aime comme [C]avant
Je pour[F]rais brû[G]ler un océ[Am]an
Pour te [F]dire je [G]t’aime à [C]présent
Je pour[F]rais marcher au [G]dessus du vol[C]can


Je laisse No[C]ël au [Em]père No[C]ël
L’an[Em]née nou[Em]velle ne nous verra pas autre[F]ment
Que [Dm]déchirés que parta[Dm]gés
De sépara[Dm]tion en cris d’a[G]mour éton[C]nant


Aucun vo[C]yage, au[Em]cun vis[C]age
Au[Em]cun nu[C]age n’a pu me faire pleurer au[F]tant
Mais [Dm]je dois dire, qu’aucun sou[Dm]rire
N’a su me [Dm]faire souffrir d’a[G]mour si tendre[C]ment


Pour te [F#]dire je [Ab]t’aime comme [C#]avant
Je pour[F#]rais brû[Ab]ler un océ[Bbm]an
Pour te [F#]dire je [Ab]t’aime à [C#]présent
Je pour[F#]rais marcher au [Ab]dessus du vol[C#]can


Pour te [G]dire je [A]t’aime comme [D]avant
Je pour[G]rais brû[A]ler un océ[Bm]an
Pour te [G]dire je [A]t’aime à [D]présent
Je pour[G]rais marcher au [A]dessus du vol[D]can.
