Lyrics:

> 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
> And 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
> And 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…
> Sleep…
> Sleep…
