Product Description

  • David Gates wrote this song after watching the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn. The song itself had nothing to do with the movie, but moodiness of the film had set him up to write it.
  • Gates: "I hardly ever write any 'name' songs, but I loved that name and the way it flowed in that particular melody. That may be the best melody I've ever written."
  • Lyrics:
  • 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 to 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
