TO SIR, WITH LOVE (TO SIR WITH LOVE, 1967)

Sidney Poitier’s convincing turn as the schoolteacher helps give the movie To Sir, With Love its credibility and poignancy. Its very famous theme of the same title sung by Lulu adds some warmth. A classic feel-good movie.


TO SIR, WITH LOVE
sung by: Lulu

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?

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
