"To Sir With Love" lyrics
(originally by Lulu)
Those schoolgirls of telling tales
And biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know, I know that they will still live on and on
But how, how do you find someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, it isn't easy but I'll try
I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the skies a letter
That would soar a thousand feet high
To sir, to sir, to sir with love
The time has come for closing books
And long, long-lost looks must end
And as I leave, I know
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
And what, what, what can I give you in return, in return?
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the skies a letter
That would soar, soar a thousand feet high
To sir, to sir, to sir with love
To sir with love
To sir with love
To sir with love
And biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know, I know that they will still live on and on
But how, how do you find someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, it isn't easy but I'll try
I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the skies a letter
That would soar a thousand feet high
To sir, to sir, to sir with love
The time has come for closing books
And long, long-lost looks must end
And as I leave, I know
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
And what, what, what can I give you in return, in return?
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the skies a letter
That would soar, soar a thousand feet high
To sir, to sir, to sir with love
To sir with love
To sir with love
To sir with love
