[00:15.63]Fate has been cruel and order unkind
[00:20.57]
[00:21.11]How can I have sent you away?
[00:26.13]
[00:26.39]The blame was my own;
[00:29.17]The punishment, yours
[00:32.17]The harmony's silent today
[00:36.88]
[00:37.46]But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
[00:42.63]
[00:42.83]And I will your company keep
[00:47.40]
[00:47.95]Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
[00:53.70]
[00:53.84]Have carried you softly to sleep
[01:01.13]Verse 1:
[01:11.47]Once did a pony who shone like the sun
[01:15.65]
[01:16.14]Look out on her kingdom and sigh
[01:20.51]
[01:20.71]She smiled and said,
[01:22.68]"Surely, there is no pony
[01:25.52]So lovely and so well beloved as I"
[01:31.99]
[01:34.00]So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
[01:39.09]That long was the shadow she cast
[01:43.75]
[01:44.05]Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
[01:48.63]And grew only darker as days and nights passed
[01:55.81]Chorus:
[01:57.95]Lullay moon princess,
[02:00.12]Goodnight sister mine
[02:02.33]
[02:02.75]And rest now in moonlight's embrace
[02:07.40]
[02:07.73]Bear up my lullaby,
[02:10.36]Winds of the earth
[02:12.14]Through cloud, and through sky,
[02:14.14]And through space
[02:17.11]
[02:17.82]Carry the peace and the coolness of night
[02:22.00]And carry my sorrow in kind
[02:26.94]
[02:27.49]Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
[02:31.53]Forgive me for being so blind
[02:38.15]Verse 2:
[02:39.19]Soon did that pony take notice that others
[02:43.87]Did not give her sister her due
[02:48.26]
[02:48.82]And neither had she loved her as she deserved
[02:53.57]She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
[03:00.27]
[03:02.07]But such is the way of the limelight,
[03:05.79]It sweetly
[03:06.85]Takes hold of the mind of its host
[03:11.64]
[03:11.74]And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
[03:16.90]The destruction of one who had needed her most
[03:24.51]Chorus:
[03:25.61]Lullay moon princess,
[03:27.58]Goodnight sister mine
[03:30.08]
[03:30.65]And rest now in moonlight's embrace
[03:34.94]
[03:35.74]Bear up my lullaby,
[03:37.76]Winds of the earth
[03:39.65]Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
[03:45.02]
[03:45.23]Carry the peace and the coolness of night
[03:49.24]And carry my sorrow in kind
[03:54.53]
[03:54.85]Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
[03:59.09]
[03:59.31]May troubles be far from your mind
[04:06.02]And forgive me for being so blind
[04:14.56]Instrumental
[04:26.41]Bridge:
[04:36.57]The years now before us
[04:42.72]Fearful and unknown
[04:47.49]I never imagined
[04:53.21]I'd face them on my own
[04:58.21]May these thousand winters
[05:04.08]Swiftly pass,
[05:06.52]I pray
[05:09.08]
[05:09.47]I love you;
[05:11.85]
[05:12.29]I miss you
[05:15.48]
[05:16.12]All these miles away
[05:23.84]
[05:24.04]Ending:
[05:24.52]May all your dreams be sweet tonight
[05:33.94]
[05:34.90]Safe upon your bed of moonlight
[05:43.50]And know not of sadness,
[05:48.80]Pain,
[05:50.64]Or care
[05:52.93]And when I dream,
[05:54.71]I'll fly away and meet you there...
[06:02.08]
[06:02.28]Sleep...
[06:07.05]
[06:07.87]Sleep...
[06:12.10]
[06:12.85]Sleep...
[06:21.91]
