If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters that would soar a thousand feet high "to Sir with love"
Lulu, from a movie, in the 60's, and musically, I guess the lines divide up as above. It's got a kind of a slow calypso underbeat. It's a run-on verse.
That they'd write me a letter Sayin' I'd better shut up and sing Or my life will be over. I'm not ready to make nice I'm not ready to back down I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go round and round

btw Sandra, it was The Monotones who sang The Book of Love :-)

BTW on the Elton John song posted by deanne, it's:
"I *put* down in the words" not *wrote*.
I thought of that song last night, then was disappointed when I remembered the proper wording.
If you wanted the sky I would
write across the sky in
letters that would
soar a thousand feet
high "to
Sir with love"

A tisket, a tasket,
a red and yellow basket,
I wrote a letter to my love and

She wrote upon it
"Return to sender"
"Address unknown"
"No such number"
(and some other no such...)

2 am and I'm still awake writing a song
If I get it all down on paper
It's no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to
Breathe (2 am)

I Will Write You a Song
Plain White T's
