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 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

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

Did I ever tell you your my hero

You're everything everything I wish I could be

I can fly higher than an eagle

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

you are the wind beneath my wings

you are the wind beneath my wings

you are the wind beneath my wings

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
