AUBREY
(David Gates)

/f#
And Aubrey was her name
A not so very ordi-nary girl or name
/f#
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
/f#
And Aubrey was her name
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
/f#
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
And God, I miss the girl
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me
/f#
And Aubrey was her name
I never knew her but I loved her just the same
/f#
I loved her name. Wished 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 do 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.
