Vonda Shepard
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 let me give my heart
To you, with love
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind
I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume ?
Well it's not 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 you with love
Those askward 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 scrawl
These words with letters ten feet tall
To you with love
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 let me give my heart
