on "Heart and Soul: New Songs from Ally McBeal" |
|
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 you, with love |
|
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah |
|
But in my mind I know that they live on and on and on and on |
|
But how do you thank someone |
|
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume? |
|
Well it it's not 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 you, with love |
|
Those awkward years have hurried by, why did they fly, 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, what is there that I can buy? |
|
If you wanted the world, |
|
I'd surround it with a wall, I'd scrawl |
|
These words with letters ten feet tall |
|
To you, with love |
