Lyrics:

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


"To Sir with Love" is the theme from James Clavell's 1967 film To Sir, with Love. The song was performed by Lulu, and written by Don Black and Mark London (husband of Lulu's longtime manager Marion Massey). Mickie Most produced the record, with Mike Leander arranging and conducting. The song reached No. 1 in the United States record charts, and it became the bestselling song of 1967 in the US.

"To Sir With Love" was initially recorded by Lulu (with the Mindbenders, who also acted in the film). It was released as a single in the United States in 1967 and in October reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained for five weeks. The single ranked No. 1 in Billboard's year-end chart, though the Monkees' "I'm a Believer", which debuted in December 1966 and spent most of its chart life in 1967, was the overall bigger hit. ("I'm a Believer" was ranked No. 5 on the same year-end chart of the same year.) It became a gold record.

Canada's RPM magazine put the song at No. 2 for the year 1967. "To Sir with Love" has the distinction of being the only record by a British artist to reach No. 1 on the US charts while not charting in the UK, where it appeared only as a B-side to "Let's Pretend" (released in the UK on 23 June 1967), which reached No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart.

Herbie Mann's instrumental rendition charted concurrently with Lulu's run on the pop chart, reaching No. 93 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 11 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Al Green covered the song on his 1978 album, Truth N' Time.

Brother-and-sister duo Melky Sedeck covered the song on their album Sister & Brother, released in 1999.
