The Wind Beneath My Wings

THE 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 strength.
• A beautiful face without a name -- for so long,
• a beautiful smile to hide the pain.
• CHORUS:
• Did you ever know that you're my hero
• and ev'rything I would like to be?
• I can fly higher than an eagle,
• 'cause 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 with out you.
• (CHORUS)
• Fly, fly, fly away,
• you let me fly so high.
• Oh, fly, fly,
• so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the
• sky.

• Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
• the wind beneath my wings.
