Artist Al Green

Lyrics

[00:02.00] Title song from the film starring Sidney Poitier and Lulu
[00:04.00] Originally recorded by Lulu in 1967
[00:06.00] Recorded by Vonda Shepard and Al Green
[00:08.00] on "Heart and Soul: New Songs from Ally McBeal"
[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
