And Aubrey was her name,

And 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 . . . hmmmm



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 . . . hmmmm



Oh, how 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 a 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 go without the best . . . hmmmm



Oh, 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!
