Those schoolgirl 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 would 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?      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 would write across the sky   In letters that would soar   A thousand feet high   To sir with love
