Aubrey Songtext

von Bread

Frmo the 1972 album, "Guitar Man"

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.
