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
