Aubrey - Perry Como

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!
