[Verse 1]
A Dm G C
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
Am D G
How can I have sent you away?
Em F G Am
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
E Dm E
The harmony's silent today
[Verse 2]
A Dm G C
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
Am D G
And I will your company keep
Em F G Am
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
E Dm E
Have carried you softly to sleep
[Verse 3]
Am C
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
G Am
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
F G Am
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
F C E Am
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
[Verse 4]
Am E Dm G
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
C Dm E
That long was the shadow she cast
Dm F E Am
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
Dm F E Am
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Dm Am
Luna moon princess, goodnight sister mine
F Am
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Dm Am E Am
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Dm E
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
[Chorus]
Dm E Am
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
E Am
And carry my sorrow in kind
C Am E
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Dm E Am
Forgive me for being so blind
[Verse 5]
Am C
Soon did that pony take notice that others
G Am
Did not give her sister her due
F C G Am
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
F C E Am
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
[Verse 6]
Am E Dm G
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
C Dm E
Takes hold of the mind of its host
Dm F E Am
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
Dm F E Am
The destruction of one who had needed her most
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Dm Am
Luna moon princess, goodnight sister mine
F Am
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Dm Am E Am
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Dm E
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
[Chorus]
Dm E Am
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
E Am
And carry my sorrow in kind
C Am E
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Dm E Am
May troubles be far from your mind
Dm E Am
And forgive me for being so blind
[Bridge 1]
C Am
The years now before us
Dm F G
Fearful and unknown
C Am
I never imagined
Dm F G
I'd face them on my own
[Bridge 2]
C Am
May these thousand winters
Dm F G
Swiftly pass, I pray
C Am
I love you; I miss you
Dm F G
All these miles away
[Outro]
Am F G C
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Am Dm C E
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
Am F G C
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
Am Dm C E
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
F Dm E Am E Am
Sleep...
