To Sir With Love
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales
And biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will
Still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would
Write across the sky in letters
That would
Soar a thousand feet high
TO SIR WITH LOVE
Those awkward years
Have hurried by
Why did they fly away
Why is it Sir
Children grow up to be people
One day
What takes the place of climbing trees
And dirty knees
In the world outside
What is there for you I can buy
If you wanted the world
I'd surround it with a wall
I'd scrawl
These words with letters 10 feet tall
TO SIR WITH LOVE
The time has come
For closing books
And long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong, that's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in RETURN
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I
Would rather you let me give my heart
TO SIR WITH LOVE
Of telling tales
And biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will
Still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky I would
Write across the sky in letters
That would
Soar a thousand feet high
TO SIR WITH LOVE
Those awkward years
Have hurried by
Why did they fly away
Why is it Sir
Children grow up to be people
One day
What takes the place of climbing trees
And dirty knees
In the world outside
What is there for you I can buy
If you wanted the world
I'd surround it with a wall
I'd scrawl
These words with letters 10 feet tall
TO SIR WITH LOVE
The time has come
For closing books
And long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong, that's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in RETURN
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I
Would rather you let me give my heart
TO SIR WITH LOVE
