Barbra Streisand - The Boy Next Door Lyrics

Barbra Streisand Lyrics

"The Boy Next Door"
(from "Meet Me In St. Louis" soundtrack)

The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we've never met
For I dream of him all the while
But he doesn't know I exist
No matter how I may persist
So it's clear to see
There's no hope for me
Though I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue
And he lives at 5133

How can I ignore the boy next-door?
I love him more than I can say
Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me
And he never sees me glance his way
And though I'm heartsore
The little boy next-door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him, so I can't ignore him
The boy next-door
