Aubrey by Perry Como Lyrics

And Aubrey was her name
And 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 ?

Like a lovely melody
That everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme
It doesn't mean a thing . . . hmmmm

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 . . . hmmmm
Oh, how 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 . .

Wish 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 go without the best . . . hmmmm

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!
