Lullaby for a Princess

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
 How can I have sent you away?
 The blame was my own, the punishment, yours
 The harmony's silent today
 But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
 And I will your company keep
 'Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
 Have carried you softly to sleep
 ♪
 Once did a pony who shone like the sun
 Look out on her kingdom and sigh
 She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
 So lovely and so well beloved as I"
 ♪
 So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
 That long was the shadow she cast
 Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
 And grew only darker as days and nights passed
 Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
 Rest now in moonlight's embrace
 Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
 Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
 Carry the peace and the coolness of night
 And carry my sorrow in kind
 Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
 Forgive me for being so blind
 
 Soon did that pony take notice that others
 Did not give her sister her due
 And neither had she loved her as she deserved
 She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
 
 But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
 Takes hold of the mind of its host
 And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
 The destruction of one who had needed her most
 Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
 Rest now, in moonlight's embrace
 Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
 Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
 Carry the peace and the coolness of night
 And carry my sorrow in kind
 Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
 May troubles be far from your mind
 And forgive me for being so blind
 ♪
 The years now before us
 Fearful and unknown
 I never imagined
 I'd face them on my own
 May these thousand winters
 Swiftly pass, I pray
 I love you, I miss you
 All these miles away
 ♪
 May all your dreams be sweet tonight
 Safe upon your bed of moonlight
 And know not of sadness, pain, or care
 And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
 Sleep
