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.
