To Sir, With Love

About To Sir, With Love

To Sir, with Love is a 1967 British drama film that deals with social and racial issues in an inner city school. It stars Sidney Poitier and features Christian Roberts, Judy Geeson, Suzy Kendall and singer Lulu making her film debut. James Clavell directed from his own screenplay, which was based on E. R. Braithwaite's 1959 autobiographical novel of the same name. The film's title song "To Sir with Love", sung by Lulu, reached number one on the U. S. pop charts for five weeks in the autumn of 1967 and ultimately was Billboard magazine's No. 1 pop single for that year. The movie ranked number 27 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 Best High School Movies. A made-for-television sequel, To Sir, with Love II (1996), was released nearly three decades later, with Poitier reprising his starring role. more »

Those school girl 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'd 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.
 
Those awkward years, have hurried by why did they fly away.
Why is it Sir children grow up to be people one day,
What takes the place of climbing trees and dirty knees in the world outside?
What is there for you I can buy?  
If you wanted the world I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrall 
These words with letters ten feet tall, 
To Sir, With Love.
