And Aubrey was her name

A not so very ordinary girl or name
G G/F#Em G7+ C G
But who's to blame for a love that wouldn't bloom
C7+ G G7+
For the hearts that never played in tune

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing

And Aubrey was her name

We tripped the light and danced together to the moon

And Aubrey was her name

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

And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
Cm G
She had been mine for a day
