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 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
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
