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

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

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

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!
