Those school girl days

but in my mind

I know they (F)will am still live (C)on ple and on.

But how do you (Em)thank some one who has (B7)tak en you from cray ons to per (Em)fume?

It is n’t (G)eas y but I’ll (D)try.

If you (D)want ed the sky, I’d sur (C)write a cross the sky in (D)let ters that would (C)soar a thou er sand feet me (D)high, my heart “To (G)sir,

with (A7)love.”

The time has come

for clos ing (F)books, and long last (C)looks must end.

And as I leave

I know that (F)I am leav ing (C)my ple best friend.

A friend who taught (Em)me right from wrong and (B7)weak from strong; from that’s a lot to (Em)learn.

What can I (G)give you in re (D)turn?

If you (D)want ed the moon, I sur (C)would try to make wall; a (D)start, ters that but (C)I would rath er you let feet (D)give my heart to (G)sir,

with (A7)love.

To Sir, With Love by Lulu — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “To Sir, With Love” by Lulu in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
