To Sir With Love – Lesley GoreBy Those schoolgirl days of telling talesAnd biting nails are goneBut in my mind I know they willStill live on and onBut how do you thanks someone who has takenYou from crayons to perfume?It isn’t easy, but I’ll tryIf you wanted the sky I would writeAcross the sky in lettersThat would soar a thousand feet high‘To Sir, With Love’The time has come for closing booksAnd long last looks must endAnd as I leave I know thatI am leaving my best friendA friend who taught me right from wrongAnd weak from strongThat’s a lot to learnBut what can I give you in return?If you wanted the moonI would try to make a startBut I would rather you let me give my heart‘To Sir, With Love’Those awkward yearsHave hurried by. Why did they fly away?And Why is it, SirChildren grow up to be people one day?What takes the place of climbing treesAnd dirty knees in the world outside?What is there for you I can buy?If you wanted the worldI’d surround it with walls. I’d scrawlThese words in letters ten feet tall:“To Sir, With Love” www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
