[Verse 1: Raul Midón]
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

[Chorus: Raul Midón]
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

[Instrumental]

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor from Chicago, Illinois.

In 1960 he began working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins. He recorded his first solo album “Takin' Off” for Blue Note Records in 1962. “Watermelon Man”. Thanks to the album he caught the attention of Miles Davis, who asks, in May 1963, Hancock to join his Second Great Quintet.

In the sixties he records two important albums in jazz “Empyrean Isles” (1964) and “Maiden Voyage” (1965), both for Blue Note. During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
