• This love was bound for Heaven Not for Earth This love was meant To light the stars But when we touched We made it ours And could they take it back Oh, no, they wouldn't dare Why should they take it back When there's enough To share with all the world And fill the heavens above With leftover love Never before A love that keeps on growing On and on To fill each lover's heart And light the dawn Is this an angel's wish For men Never before And never againThe Muppet Movie1979
