[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] They are in the Inside Star Trek book by Justman and Solow. The lyrics are an odd point in Star Trek history.. Gene wrote them to con Sandy Courage out of half his royalties. Alexander Courage wrote the TOS theme, and Gene took it and added the lyrics. This way, Gene is listed as co-author and recieved half the royalties every time the theme was played. This is also why Courage never returned to Star Trek and they arent allowed to use his music in new productions (it would have been nice in Trials and Tribbleations) They were written on the fly, and show it. By Courage (an other musicians) point of view they are unsound, having s sounds at the end of lyrics and adding extra beats (which is painfully apparent if you ever hear a band sing it) I dont have the sheets in front of me, but i remember *mostly* how they go Beyond the rim of the star light My love is wand'rin' in starflight I know he'll find in star-cluster'd reaches Love strange love a star-woman teaches I know his journey ends never His star trek will go on forever Just let him know as he wanders his starry sea Remember Remember me...
