To Sir, With Love
Gratitude Unveiled: A Melody of Memories and Thankfulness
Lyrics
Those school girl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
Reflecting on the past innocence of school days, where tales were told and nails were bitten.
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on,
Expressing the belief that these memories will persist in the mind.
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume.
Pondering how to show gratitude to someone who guided from childhood (crayons) to maturity (perfume).
It isn't easy but I'll try,
Acknowledging the difficulty of expressing gratitude but committing to trying.
If you wanted the sky I'd write across the sky in letters
If the mentor desired the impossible (sky), the speaker would make a grand gesture.
that would soar a thousand feet high,
Describing a grand gesture of writing a message across the sky.
To Sir, With Love.
The grand gesture is dedicated "To Sir, With Love."
The time has come, for closing books and long last looks must end,
Recognizing the end of school days, symbolized by closing books and taking a final look.
And as I leave I know that I am Leaving my best friend,
As the speaker leaves, acknowledging the teacher as their best friend.
A friend who taught me right from wrong, and weak from strong.
Reflecting on the valuable lessons learned about right and wrong, strength and weakness.
That's a lot to learn.
Acknowledging the enormity of the lessons taught.
What! What can I give you in return?
Expressing a sense of indebtedness and questioning what can be given in return.
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
If the mentor desired the unreachable (moon), the speaker would attempt to achieve it.
But I would rather, you let me give my heart,
Expressing a preference to give their heart rather than an impossible gift.
To Sir, With Love.
Repeating the dedication of the grand gesture "To Sir, With Love."
Those awkward years, have hurried by why did they fly away.
Reflecting on the swift passage of awkward teenage years.
Why is it Sir children grow up to be people one day,
Pondering why children, under the guidance of a teacher (Sir), grow up into adults.
What takes the place of climbing trees and dirty knees in the world outside?
Questioning what replaces the childhood joys of climbing trees and having dirty knees in the adult world.
What is there for you I can buy?
Wondering what material possession can adequately repay the mentor.
If you wanted the world I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrall
If the mentor desired the unattainable (world), the speaker would create a symbolic barrier around it.
These words with letters ten feet tall,
Describing another grand gesture of surrounding the world with a wall and letters of gratitude.
To Sir, With Love.
Repeating the dedication of the grand gesture "To Sir, With Love."
