Wind Beneath My Wings Lyrics

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 strength
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 know it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle,
you are the wind beneath my wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle,
you are the wind beneath my wings,
you are the wind beneath my wings
