Wind Beneath My Wings

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?
And everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you, you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh and I, I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
