To Sir With Love

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

NickT

I could tell on myself, and say that I remember going to the movies to see it, when it came out...  And, I wasn't a baby then...  ::)

And, being able to compare in my mind, I'll say well done...

I have to admit I didn't expect anything close to Lulu's version.  But you guys proved me wrong.  Great job by everyone, especially Ali Kat's vocals.

This one's a keeper.

Wow! This is a splendid cover. Ali, your vocals are soaring here - reminds me somewhat of a young Helen Shapiro?
Excellent production I had to listen to it a couple of times to note all that went on....sterling stuff indeed!

BTW - My oldest sister Linda, went to school with Lulu....ok that's her claim to fame.

Great job Nick! :) :) :)  True to the original but with that contemporary "Testified Sound" ;)  Ali really impresses me on this one, given this song predates her by a generation or two! :)  Someone send the link to Lulu, she'd be proud!
Time for revision, make your decision
Just see it through-- McAndrew
