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
