lyrics

I called you just to say hello / I called you to see how
it goes / And the time has come when the brain breaches
connection / And I tried to speak but the words I said, they
got blown away / I called you just to say hello / I called
you to tell you I love you / You’re the only one who
understands me / Even the times I could not relate / Your
guidance does shine through me / And your sacrifice for all
our mistakes / I called you just to say hello / I called you to
tell you I love you / Your voice is like an arrow / And your
laughter brings me to tears / Your cheeks are warm and
friendly / And your eyes dart through my fears / I called you
just to say hello / I called you to see how it goes / And
whatever you see in the way / It is not worth the time / Oh,
such precious time is just passing by / I called you just to
say hello / I called you to tell you I love you
