Lyrics
And Aubrey was her name
A not so very ordinary girl or name
But who's to blame
For a love that wouldn't bloom?
For the hearts that never played in tune?
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing
And Aubrey was her name
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
But where was June?
No, it never came around
If it did, it never made a sound
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast?
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past
But God, I miss the girl
And I'd go a thousand times around the world
Just to be closer to her than to me
And Aubrey was her name
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same
I loved her name
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day
