This is a song I wrote and began recording over a year ago about one of my favorite fimfics, "The Life and Times of a Winning Pony" by Chengar Qordath (and almost always illustrated by inuhoshi-to-darkpen). It's about Cloud Kicker and her crazy life, romantic interests, and friends in Ponyville. It's story of a flawed and amorous pony that really struck home with me and has continued to since i read it. It has been on my shelf for a long time and I recently spent a few hours re-recording vocals on a friend's better mic and didn't get half the magic i did with my original takes. So I'm accepting that while there might be some flaws apparent (not the greatest mic and a few lyrics i would change), that I can't turn back time. I am glad to finally be taking this song to it's completion and I hope fans of the Winningverse, and those who are new to it, will enjoy.

My thanks to the creators of the Winningverse (over 100 inter-related stories about this background pony and her friends). I love the magic they've done in creating their own alternate universe within mlp. They have truly created their own sunshine and a source of warmth for this community.

Lyrics:
Fluttershy I loved you since you were just a girl
Meeting you brightened up my sheltered little world
I had never opened up like that before
I never saw such beauty, or the many things in store

But when we lost this precious thing that we'd had
As my heart tore in two, never felt pain so bad
For years we drifted, I continued to fall apart
always tried to find same comfort, in another's arms

I never want to live without your love
I never want to lose that sunshine
I never want to make it without your friendship
I never want to lose your sunshine

I was friends with Derpy way back in summer camp
I helped her through some tough times way before we banged
One night we connected, as i ignored my rules
Her damn sweet muffin had me playin such a fool

I woke up in the morning and for once i stuck around
She had a great big heart like no one else i'd found
She gave me love, when i had little for myself
She had such patience and lent me all herself.

I never want to live without your love
I never want to lose that sunshine
I never want to make it without your friendship
I never want to lose your sunshine

(BRIDGE)

Dash I could blame you, when many things went wrong
I could choose to leave you out of this very song
You might have wrecked the few good things that i'd had
But why would i want to dwell on when things went bad

You should know i appreciate what you've done for me
Even though our past is just a torn up tapestry
Despite all of that you've shown me loyalty
When I needed you most you were right here next to me

I never want to live without your love
I never want to lose that sunshine
I never want to make it without your friendship
I never want to lose your sunshine

Blossomforth you are the best friend i ever had
I know I've teased you up and down, made you so mad
I played a fiddle with your virgin heart
I found love in Derpy arms after we split apart

I know we never gave each other a decent chance
I always knew a filly crush could someday be romance
I kept pushing you away at every single turn
I wanna show you now what my loving arms have learned

I never want to live without your love
I never want to lose that sunshine
I never want to make it without your friendship
I never want to lose your sunshine

I know I messed up oh so many times
I often didn't read that much between the lines
All this heartache so much was self caused
But these people still love me despite all my flaws

I'm not the same pony that i was before
I won't go knocking on every pony's "door"
All these friendship's mean the world to me
This time i won't forget about my extended family

You know I just might make it (with your love)
You know I just might make it (with all this banging)
You know I just might make it (with your friendship)
You know I just might make it
With your sunshine

I do want to get out a fimfiction inspired album out sometime this year (with luck and a ton of work) called The Librarian. Hopefully that will happen. Until then here's the mp3 so I don't leave you high and dry. pony.fm/tracks/2738-fr...
