Here's what sombody wrote about it on Wikipedia.
The midtempo ballad expresses how simply calling someone to tell them you love them can make even the most unremarkable day of your life magical. It is one of Wonder's most simplistic, jingly and sentimental songs, and, with its quintessentially mid-80s synthesizers and drum machines, is a far cry from his more organic and experimental 1970s material. For those reasons it was savaged by critics upon its release. However, the public were seduced by its simple charms, making it one of Wonder's most successful singles to date.
Fair enough. I like many of his other songs better, but it is damn catchy.
I think what I like more than anything is how he lyrically weaves all the months and seasons together.
