Eb            G#m7       C#7    F# 
Fate has been cruel and order unkind 
        D#m    G#7       C# 
How can I have sent you away? 
                 B        C#          Ebm 
The blame was my own, the punishment, yours 
    Bb        G#m      Bb 
The harmony's silent today 
    Eb        G#m7          C#7         F# 
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song 
      D#m       G#7     C# 
And I will your company keep 
                B        C#      D#m 
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies 
     Bb          G#m        Bb 
Have carried you softly to sleep 

( D#m ) 

B                   F# 
Once did a pony who shone like the Sun 
     C#                     D#m 
Look out on her kingdom and sigh 
     B         F#            C#          D#m 
She smiled and said: Surely, there is no pony 
     G#m                Bb       D#m 
So lovely and so well beloved as I 
                 Bb           G#m           C# 
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory 
      F#          G#m        Bb 
That long was the shadow she cast 
      Eb        G#m            Bb7        D#m 
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved 
    G#m       Aº        Bb              D#m 
And grew only darker as days and nights passed 

B                       F# 
Soon did that pony take notice that others 
    C#                      D#m 
Did not give her sister her due 
    B           F#            C#       D#m 
And neither had she loved her as she deserved 
    G#m             Aº        Bb        D#m 
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew 

                Bb         G#m           C# 
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly 

      F#          G#m         Bb7 
Takes hold of the mind of its host 
    D#m          G#m      Bb7        D#m 
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop 
       G#m         Aº          Bb         D#m 
The destruction of one who had needed her most 

G#m         D#m           G#m          D#m 
Lullay Moon princess, goodnight sister mine 
                Bb            D#m 
And rest now in moonlight's embrace 
Bb7        D#m      Bb7          D#m 
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth 

        G#m                Aº                Bb7 
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space 
G#m       G#m7          C#          F# 
Carry the peace and the coolness of night 
    Bb       Bb7       D#m 
And carry my sorrow in kind 
B            D#m                F7       Bb 
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know 
     G#m        Bb            B 
May troubles be far from your mind 
    G#m            Bb       D#m 
And forgive me for being so blind 

( G#  B  C#  B  G#m7  C# ) 

    F#5    F#   B 
The years now before us 
G#m            C# 
Fearful and unknown 
  F#5 F# B 
I never imagined 
     E        G#m   C# 
I'd face them on my own 
    F#5      F#     B 
May these thousand winters 
  G#m           C#7 
Swiftly pass, I pray 
  F#           B 
I love you; I miss you 
G#m       G#m7  C# 
All these miles away 

Eb           G#m7      C#  C#7  F# 
May all your dreams be sweet tonight 
B     Cm7(5-) G#9/C       Bbm  
Safe upon your bed of moonlight 
B   Eb          G#m      C#       F# 
And know not of sadness, pain, or care 
    B                  G#           B        Bbm 
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there 
 B   G#  A#  
Sleep
