The City on the Edge of Forever

Edith Keeler, Edith Keeler, You know, I loved you so
For the language we spoke together,
Though you had to go
I stood by to protect the future
Still, beside me, I wanted you to stay
Edith Keeler, Edith Keeler,
Your thoughts, beyond your time
Interference to save a life, but
He said that you must die
Back in time to retrieve our doctor,
There I found a love, a love that has to end
In the City on the Edge of Forever
Removed from time and space, true; however,
I long to be in that city once again,
In the City on the Edge of Forever with you
Edith Keeler, Edith Keeler,
I saved you once before
But for the sake of what had to become,
I could do no more
You’d have understood if I could have told you
Now my heart breaks when I think of all we were
In the City on the Edge of Forever
Removed from time and space, true; however,
I long to be in that city once again,
In the City on the Edge of Forever with you
