The Boy Next Door

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 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
 Someday soon he'll be strolling by
 He'll glance up, never knowing why
 He'll happen to see me
 I'll happen to smile
 He'll come nearer and nearer still
 And we'll both feel a sudden chill
 He'll happen to like me
 And stay for awhile
 But I'm afraid this dream is made of candlelight and air
 He is not aware
 That I'm even there
 So why am I going on this way
 When I know he will never say
 "I happen to love you
 I happen to care"
 I just adore him
 So I can't ignore him
 The boy next door
