To Sir With Love

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's 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.

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.

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 ten feet tall, "TO SIR WTIH LOVE"
