Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah

But in my mind I know that they live on and on and on and on

But how do you thank someone

Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?

Well it it's not 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, 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, what is there that 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, with love
