| TO SIR, WITH LOVE
LULU
Black/London
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
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
If you wanted
the moon
I would try
to make a start
but I would
rather you let
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
in the world outside
What is there for you
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
