Em 1984 Stevie Wonder gravou a trilha sonora da comédia "The Woman in Red", de Gene Wilder,  que de modo algum formava um álbum completo, mas comportava um número de canções novas, incluindo "I Just Called to Say I Love You".

Muito bem recebida pelo público, a música foi um sucesso de vendas e de execução, recebendo um Oscar como "A Melhor Música".

 

 
 
 
 
I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU

 

Stevie Wonder

 

1984

 

 

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.

 

No April rain

No flowers bloom

Nowhere in Saturday within the month of June

But what it is something true

Made up of these three words that I must say to you.

 

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 high

No warm July

No radiance moon to light on tender August night

No Autumn breeze

No falling leaves

Not even time

For birds to fly to southern sky.

 

No liberal sun

No Halloween

No giving thanks to all the Christmas’  joy you bring

But what it is the old so new

To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.

 

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.
