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 triped 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 to 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
