Rainbow Connection - Kermit?

Truth be told, I don't know if there is an original composure other than Kermit but this is how I came to know this song. I used to sing to my grandmother and she loved it. She was an artist and a poet who had always been called a day dreamer like it was a bad thing. There was something that spoke to her in this song and my singing it to her only endeared it more. My grandmother is my kindred spirit, I can see what she loves about this song. I can see her singing along with me as a child and it brings me an immeasurable amount of joy. We don't get to see her much these days. Since the pandemic she has been living largely in isolation from us and it is the worst thing about the past year hands down. She turns 92 in April and as time passes I am more and more aware of how precious it is and how the pandemic has taken so much from us we will never get back, like time with our elderly loved ones. It is heartbreaking. Listening to this song and I am writing this today makes my heart a little lighter.
