Vonda Shepard - To Sir With Love (feat. Al Green) Lyrics
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must endAnd as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friendA friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strongThat's a lot to learn,What, what can I give you in return?If you wanted the moonI would try to make a startBut I, would rather you let me give my heartTo you, with loveThose schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeahBut in my mind I 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 it's not easy, but 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 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 scrawlThese words with letters ten feet tallTo you, with love
