Martha Reeves & The Vandellas — To Sir With Love

[Verse 1] Those schoolgirl days Of telling tales and biting nails are gone But in my mind I know they will still live on and on [Pre-Chorus] 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 would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high "To Sir, with love" [Verse 2] The time has come For closing books and long last looks must end But as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend [Pre-Chorus] 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 start But I would rather you let me give my heart To Sir, with love
