David Gates - Aubrey 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 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 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
