The Boy Next Door (Meet Me in St. Louis) Songtext
von Judy Garland

The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we′ve never met
Though 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 fifty-one-thirty-five Kensington Avenue
And he lives at fifty-one-thirty-three


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 heart-sore, the boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him
So I can′t ignore him
The boy next door

I just adore him
So I can't ignore him
The boy next door
