To Sir, With Love - Lulu

Another one of those songs I have on 45, this song has a very smooth, soft feel to it especially with the presence of the strings. It was written for the movie of the same name, released in 1967, and first performed by Lulu. I love the lyrics to this song and she delivers them well. Just a great little song that is basically unknown except by fans if the film.

To Sir, With Love

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, but 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'
