Herbie Mann

Herbert Jay Solomon (April 16, 1930 – July 1, 2003), known by his stage name Herbie Mann, was an American jazz flutist and important early practitioner of world music. Early in his career, he also played tenor saxophone and clarinets (including bass clarinet), but Mann was among the first jazz musicians to specialize on the flute and was perhaps jazz music's preeminent flutist during the 1960s. His most popular single was "Hijack," which was a Billboard number-one dance hit for three weeks in 1975. 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.
