[00:10.00] | |
[00:11.66] | The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end |
[00:27.31] | And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend |
[00:41.93] | A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong |
[00:48.26] | That's a lot to learn, |
[00:50.89] | What, what can I give you in return? |
[01:01.04] | If you wanted the moon |
[01:02.93] | I would try to make a start |
[01:05.90] | But I, would rather you let me give my heart |
[01:13.77] | To you, with love |
[01:27.36] | Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah |
[01:42.31] | But in my mind I know that they live on and on and on and on |
[01:57.40] | But how do you thank someone |
[02:00.96] | Who has taken you from crayons to perfume? |
[02:06.37] | Well it it's not easy, but I'll try |
[02:16.16] | If you wanted the sky |
[02:18.24] | I would write across the sky in letters |
[02:24.20] | That would soar a thousand feet high |
[02:28.90] | To you, with love |
[02:42.83] | Those awkward years have hurried by, why did they fly, fly away? |
[02:57.72] | Why is it Sir, children grow up to be people one day? |
[03:13.07] | What takes the place of climbing trees, |
[03:16.91] | And dirty knees, in the world outside? |
[03:21.80] | What, what is there that I can buy? |
[03:31.67] | If you wanted the world, |
[03:33.69] | I'd surround it with a wall, I'd scrawl |
[03:41.38] | These words with letters ten feet tall |
[03:45.27] | To you, with love |
