Al Green - To Sir With Love Lyrics
Lyrics by don blackMusic by marc londonThe time has comeFor closing books, and long last looks must endAnd as i leaveI know that i am leaving my best friendA friend who taught me right from wrongAnd weak from strongThat's a lot to learnWhat, what can i give you in return?If you wanted the moonI would try to make a startBut i, would rather let me give my heartTo you, with loveThose schoolgirl daysOf telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeahBut in my mindI know that they live on and on and on and onBut how do you thank someoneWho has taken you from crayons to perfume?Well it's not easyBut i'll tryIf you wanted the skyI would write across the sky in lettersThat would soar a thousand feet highTo you, with loveThose awkward years have hurried byWhy did they fly, fly awayWhy 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 worldI'd surround it with a wall i'd scrawlThese words withe letters ten feet tallTo you, with love
