Teacher's day special

You Are My Special Teacher

You are my special teacher
I just want you to know
I always had fun in your class
How the time has flown!

Thank you for helping me
To learn all that I know
I will always remember you
Even when I’m grown!

I’ll miss you being my teacher
I know the reason why
I am feeling very sad
Because it’s time to say goodbye
