Overjoyed / I Just Called to Say I Love You / Isn’t She Lovely Lyrics

[Verse 1:Brian McKnight]
Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

[Verse 2: Julio Iglesias Jr]
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

[Chorus: Both]
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come truе when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would bеlieve
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

[Verse 3:Brian McKnight]
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, It's just another ordinary day
[Verse 4: Julio Iglesias Jr]
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: Both]
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, my heart

[Bridge: Both]
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old

[Bridge: Julio Iglesias Jr]
I never thought through love we'd be (I never thought)
Making one as lovely as she (oh, oh, oh)
Isn't she lovely, made from love

[Chorus: Both]
Oh
Isn't she pretty (isn't she pretty)
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy (oh, I'm so happy)
We have been heaven blessed (oh, yeah)
[Outro]
I never thought that love could be
Making one as lovely as she
Isn't she lovely (isn't she lovely)
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she lovely, made from love
Made from love (made from love)
She's made from love (made)
Isn't she lovely

Genius Annotation

Julio Iglesias Jr., has released his single, a duet of a Stevie Wonder medley with Brian McKnight – “Overjoyed / I Just Called to Say I Love You / Isn’t She Lovely,” from Julio’s new album Under The Covers out February 7 and produced by legendary, GRAMMY-winning producer Rudy Pérez. Featuring Julio and Brian’s smooth, soulful vocals set to a reimagining of Stevie Wonder’s classic hits.

“Rudy and I knew we needed a Stevie Wonder cover on this record, but when we looked at his repertoire, we realized it was impossible to choose just one song. We ended up taking these three songs and turning it into a beautiful medley, and who better to sing it with me than Brian McKnight?” says Julio Iglesias Jr..

“I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project with Julio Jr. I was honored to even be asked. Bringing separate cultures together through Stevie Wonder’s music is a win-win situation for me,“ says Brian McKnight.
