June, but what it is is something true, made up of these three words that I 

            C
must say to you:


       Dm        G     C                Dm        G              Am         
I just called to say I love you, I just called to say how much I care, I 

     Dm        G     Am             Dm               G            C
just called to say I love you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

night, no Autumn breeze, no falling leaves, not even time for birds to fly 

            C
to Southern skies.

No Libre 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.
