"The First Time it Happens"

written by Joe Raposo

(The love song sung by Kermit and Miss Piggy, & Chorus--while the duo waltz among professional dancers at the dinner club.)

Chorus:
The first time you see her
No bolt from the blue
Miss Piggy:
Just something so quiet
That's waiting for you
Chorus:
With no one to tell you
Where you've got to go
Miss Piggy:
The first time it happens
You know...

Kermit:
The first time you see her
No magical change
No angels appearing
No dreams to arrange
Chorus:
Just warmer and colder
Than springtime or snow
Kermit:
The first time it happens
You know...

Chorus:
And so you fall
And how complete it is
And for each new moment that it lasts
How sweet it is

Miss Piggy & Kermit:
The first time together
How simple, how rare
Miss Piggy:
And just when you thought
You'd forgot how to care
Kermit:
And though you feel much more
Than you'd dare to show
All:
The first time it happens
You know...
