Lyrics

Those school girl 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'd write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To Sir, with love
The time has come (Yeah)
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
But, what can I give you in return? (In return)
If you wanted the sky I'd try to make a star
But I would rather you have give my heart
To Sir, with love
Those awkward years
Have hurried by.
Why do 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? Yeah
What is there for you I can buy?
If you wanted the world, I'd surround it with walls. I'd scrall
Those words with letters ten feet tall
To Sir, With Love
