To Sir, With love

Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails
Are gone
But in my mind I know
That 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

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

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
