Life  is unfair, so they tell me,
Because  they think I wouldn't know.
They  only can see a cheap gimmick
 On their children's  favorite show.
 They say, "Oh,  that's just foam and a wire,
Attached  to a green velvet sleeve,
Anyone  can do that" -- well, that's  true, I suppose,
 But who  else could make them believe?
What  can I say without you  there to guide me?
How  else am I supposed to give?
How  can I sing without you  there beside me?
How  else am I supposed to live?
You  could never just do the expected,
 (Full)
 I was just an idea in a bog,
 But you sewed  up your dream  and we made  quite a team,
 Jim and Kermit,  a boy  and his frog.
 It was me,  Rolph, and you, but I think  that he knew
 There was something  that you and I had.
 The magic  we made just kept  growing,
 And none  of it ever was bad.
 Then came Ernie  and Scooter and Gonzo,
 Doctor Teeth,  Cookie Monster, and more.
 But now all  of those voices are silent,
 And I want  to go on... but what for?
No  one can make me what you  did,
No  one could walk in your shoes,
 (Full)
 Nothing can make me forget you,
 But that's  not a path that I'd choose.
I  can't just let it be over,
And  you wouldn't want it that way,
 So I'll stand  up and I'll face  it,
 And, though not  quite in your voice, I'll say:
I  will go on without you  there to guide me,
There's  so much more I can give.
 Whenever  I sing, you  will be there beside me,
 As long  as I keep you, you'll live.
 We just wanted  to make people happy,
 I was always  much more than your toy.
 I will never  regret  and I'll  never forget
 What we had,
 I'll miss you, Dad,
  -----  (Full)
 This frog and his boy.
