Very few people would know that one of my late brother's favourite movie and song is 'To Sir With Love' Starring Sidney Poitier and Lulu... He saw the movie and read the book... funny enough, he never liked kids and never imagined being a teacher... but it seems he was one that was respected by the ones he had the privilege to teach... when I was sorting through his things after his death, I came across a number of teacher's day cards and gifts from his students... I can't help but feel so proud of him and that I had the privilege to be his sister...
The lyrics posted here is the complete version... I also like the version done by the Glee cast... ^^
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know that 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
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
If you wanted the world, I'd surround it with a wall, I'd scrawl
These words with letters ten feet tall
To Sir, with love
