All I have to do

All I have to do
Is look at you to show you
How much I love you

Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) sang it, but I can't find who wrote it. I'm guessing Joe Raposo or Jeff Moss. If anyone knows for sure, please leave a note.




If I were a poet
I would write a sonnet
It would say "I love you"
Your name would be on it
If I were a farmer
I'd give you a bunny
If I had a beehive
You would get free honey
Fa la la (many times)

If I were a baker
You could have a cruller
If I were a painter
Choose your favorite color
If I had some diamonds
I'd give you a few
Anything to show you
How much I love you
Fa la la, etc.

Did you guess my secret?
I am not a poet
Couldn't write a sonnet
And I think you know it
I am not a farmer
Can't give you a bunny
I don't have a beehive
Sorry 'bout the honey
Fa la la, etc.

I am not a baker
Don't know bread from batter
And I am not a painter
And it doesn't matter
I don't need a present
All I have to do
Is look at you to show you
How much I love you
Fa la la, etc.

I love this! And I had never heard it before.

Of course it makes us love Kirby even more :)

"Of course it makes us love Kirby even more :)"

I should have said love your whole family more, not just Kirby.

The player withered like a sad little plant. I can't find another version online, but if and when I do, I'll bring it out again.
