Lyrics for The Boy Next Door (From the Motion Picture "Meet Me In St. Louis")

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
