Bread — Aubrey

[Verse 1] 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? [Bridge 1] Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge 2] Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast? Catching all the words but then the meaning going past [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge 3] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
