Lyrics
Here is the lyrics of the song uplifted from Genius:
And Aubrey was her name
A 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
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
But 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
Wish that I had found the 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
But 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

a song I played over and over and over…what a great song by Bread. I only recently was introduced to an Aubrey and asked if she was named for the song and she said she was. I asked if she ever listened to the song and she had not. What a shame.. a beautiful and finely crafted song!
I named my daughter after the song. ♥
Must be a Schwartz thing. I loved the song when it came out
I met and fell for a girl named Aubrey after becoming good friends. First thing I asked her was if she knew the song and I already had a crush. And every day since then, for a month now I’ve played this song and thought of her. I told her that I liked her today, and was friendzoned, thus fulfilling this song as if it were a prophecy and now I replay the last part in my head, “I can’t have the one I want I’ll do without the best, but 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.”
This is a beautiful song for a beautiful girl, a beautiful name, and a great friend.
Brings back good memories from high school.
My daughter is named this, I was set on a different name but the father decided on Aubrey and I was in a coma awakened to give birth and put back in a coma to heal so Aubrey it is.
