Conway Twitty

The Boy Next Door
I've known you since you were a schoolgirlSaw the smoke turn to fire in your eyesFrom the window of my roomI watched a young girl bloomSaw the woman in you come aliveWatched you fall in love a time or twoI saw you get hurt once or twiceAnd you'd come running over, cry on my shoulderSometimes I'd get to hold you all nightThere in my arms you'd lay soft and warmYou never felt the writing on the wallYou never knew how I wanted youI was the boy next door, that's allJust the boy next door, that's allI watched you drift away out of my reachI never got to hold you againAnd here in my heart is the saddest partWe'll never know how it might have beenThere in my arms you'd lay soft and warmI sure love to catch you when you fallBut you never knew how I wanted youI was the boy next door, that's allJust the boy next door, that's allDo you ever think about me, honey?The boy next door, that's all From Letras Mania
