[singing]
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.
More from Meet Me in St. Louis
Esther Smith 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 Boy Next Door,
Affection for me won't display.
I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,
The Boy Next Door. Esther Smith Well, Papa, if losing a case depresses you so, why don't you quit practicing law and go into another line of business? Esther Smith You've just ruined Rose's chance to get married, that's all...That was Warren Sheffield calling long-distance to propose.
