Wind Beneath My Wings

Bette Midler

It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You were content to let me shine

That's your way

You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strain

A beautiful face without a name

For so long

A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

And everything I would like to be

I can fly higher than an eagle

For you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed

But I've got it all here in my heart

I want you to know, I know the truth

Of course I've known it

I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

You're everything I wish I could be

I can fly higher than an eagle

For you are the wind beneath my wings

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

You're everything, everything I wish I could be

Oh and I, I can higher than an eagle

For you are the wind beneath my wings
