From the CD: Anthology of Bread, Bread
     
    Aubrey, sung by David Gates, written by David Gates
    
    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 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
    
    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
