[00:00.00]Lyrics:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane Music:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane[00:08.61]The moment I saw him smile,[00:14.67]I knew he was just my style,[00:20.97]My only regret is we've never met,[00:27.66]Though I dream of him all the while.[00:34.50]But he doesn't know I exist,[00:39.45]No matter how I may persist,[00:45.84]So it's clear to see there's no hope for me,[00:56.88]Though I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue[00:59.88]And he lives at 5133.[01:08.04]How can I ignore[01:14.16]The boy next door?[01:18.51]I love him more than I can say.[01:23.40]Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me,[01:29.97]And he never sees me glance his way.[01:37.44]And though I'm heart-sore[01:42.39]The boy next door affection for me won't display,[01:54.93]I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,[02:01.47]The boy next door.[02:08.91]I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,[02:43.83]The boy next door.
