Al Green - To Sir With Love lyrics

The time has come for closing books And long last looks must end, yeah 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 schooldays are Of telling tales, biting nails are gone, oh But in my mind I know that they live on and on, on and on and on But how do you thank someone Who had been so good to you? Well, it's not easy, oh 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, oh, oh And as I leave, yeah I know that I am leaving my best friend, oh, oh 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 Oh sir, with love, yeah, yeah, yeah
