Barbra Streisand
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
