[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?

Like a lovely melody

That everyone can sing

Take away the words that rhyme

It doesn't mean a thing, hmm-mmm


[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

Maybe I was absent

Or was listening too fast

Catching all the words

But then, the meaning going past, mhm


[Bridge]

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


[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 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, mhm


[Outro]

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
