To Sir, With Love Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

Lyrics by don black 

Music by marc london 

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 let me give my heart 

To you, with love 

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'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 you, 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 tres 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 withe letters ten feet tall 

To you, with love
