Remarks:
This is one of my favourite Stevie Wonder songs. It came out in 1979 and went to #5 on the US R&B chart. I know it might be too schmaltzy for some. Stevie Wonder knew it too – listen to the lyrics.

Lyrics:
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heartShow him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I’ve heard so many say that the days of romance are no more
And people falling in love is so old fashioned
But waiting are they the day they once let slip away
Hiding need to fulfill their heart’s desire for love’s passion
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal
And can only happen in make believe stories
But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see
For around us are miracles of love’s glory
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart

Schmaltzy? Love this song.
I Just Called To Say I Love You is definitely schmaltzy compared to this.

I like Stevie Wonder. My favorite songs by him are “For Once in My Life,” “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” “What Christmas Means to Me,” and “Someday at Christmas.” He has such a warm, rich voice.
