I will tell you a story of a fairy
She was very beautiful and so graceful
But she danced at midnight
In the full moonlight
She danced all night she danced all day
Till the stars had gone away
She danced until the sun turned red
She danced and never went to bed
She danced away the days and years
She danced out her laughter
She danced out her tears
She danced so long she forgot her name
Until the day he came
The Old Ones they called him Puck
If you've never seen him you're in luck
The Prince of Mischief was his name
And playing tricks was his game
He heard a song play on the breeze
He wandered here and there through the trees
And what was she doing as he drew near
But shedding her last tear
He saw the moonlit tears on her face
He saw all the years she had dance in this place
And for one time in all of his history that I've known
Sympathy was what Puck had shone
He danced with her all day and night
Till the stars were once more bright
They danced till the sun shone bright again
He danced away her end
He danced back the days and years
His dance gave her laughter
His dance gave her tears
They danced till she could remember her name
The curse had made her heart lame
He danced with her till time stopped
Till the moonlight turned to morning dew
He danced with her till the curse was stopped
Till her spirit was made new
His dance gave her beauty
His dance gave her grace
His dance took away the years from her face
The fairy, with joy, to her children shall yield
How a friendship was made in a cursed field
Where the moon shone full at midnight fair
And only the leaves danced safe through the air
Did you like my story of a fairy
Did you see she was beautiful and so graceful
If you see, remember to never dance
At midnight in the full moonlight
