And Aubrey  was her name
 A not so very  ordi-nary  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
 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
And Aubrey  was her name
 I never knew  her but I loved  her just the same
 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.
 Enjoy, STEVE
