Aubrey

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 . . . hmmmm 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 . . . hmmmm 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 . . . hmmmm 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! Words and Music by David A. Gates
