ARTIST: Don Black and Marc London TITLE: To Sir, with Love Lyrics and Chords 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 / C - / D F C - / : / B7 Em / / D G D A7 / If you wanted the sky, I would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high To Sir, with love / D C D / C D / G A / 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 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 trees 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 with letters ten feet tall To Sir, with love
