Jann Arden 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
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
