THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You've been content to let me shine,
you always walked the step behind.___

I was the one with all the glo - ry,
while you were the one with all the strength,
only a face without a name, 
I never once heard you complain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an ea - gle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings. 

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
that I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know  I know the truth:
I would be nothing without you. 
You are the wind beneath my wings.
