Beyond Antaresedit
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Beyond Antares was a 23rd century love song.
Lieutenant Uhura was fond of the song, and sang it on a couple of occasions while serving on the USS Enterprise. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King", "The Changeling")
[edit] Lyrics
The skies are green and glowing
Where my heart is
Where my heart is
Where....the scented lunar flower is blooming
Somewhere, beyond the stars
Beyond Antares
I'll be back though it takes forever
Forever is just a day.
Forever is just another journey
Tomorrow a stop along the way
And let the years go fading
Where my heart is
Where my heart is
Where my love eternally is waiting
Somewhere, beyond the stars
Beyond Antares
[edit] Background
The song was written by Wilbur Hatch with lyrics by Gene L. Coon. An instrumental version of the song also appeared on Leonard Nimoy's album titled Mr. Spock's Music from Outer Space.
