To Sir With Love

Soul Asylum · After The Flood: Live From The Grand Forks Prom June 28, 1998 [2008]

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 been with 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 the stars

But I would rather you let me give my heart

'To Sir, with love'



Sing for my daddy, yeah



If you wanted the moon

I would try to make that start

But I would rather you let me give my heart

'To Sir, with love'
