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 a step behind      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 that I'd like to be?   And I can fly higher than an eagle   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, oh      Did you ever know that you're my hero   And everything that I'd like to be?   And I can fly higher than an eagle   You are the wind beneath my wings      Did you ever know that you're my hero   You're everything, everything that I'd like to be?   And I, oh, I can fly higher than an eagle   'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings   You are the wind beneath my wings      You, you, you, oh thank God for you   Wind beneath my wings
