SONG AND PUT ITS PARTS IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

I Just Called to Say I Love You (MIXED)
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 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
 
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
No New Year's Day to celebrate 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 But what it is, is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you

AND NEAREST!

But not half as
much as I will tomorrow.
