Letra de
Aubrey

A música Aubrey foi escrita e composta por David Gates para o álbum Guitar Man da banda Bread, lançado em 1972. A letra é uma reflexão melancólica sobre uma garota chamada Aubrey e a inacessibilidade de um amor perdido.

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 ne ver 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.
