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 chorus: 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 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 chorus: If you wanted the moon I would try to make a star But I would rather you let me give my heart To Sir, with love Those awkward years, have hurried by why did 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 is the world outside What is there for you I can buy chorus: If you wanted the world I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl those words with letters ten feet tall To Sir, with love
