[Verse 1]

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?

[Bridge 1]

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing

Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge 2]

Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast?

Catching all the words but then the meaning going past

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge 3]

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

[Chorus 2]

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
