wind beneath my wings

Singer: judy collins

it must have been cold there in my shadow

to never have sunlight on your face

you were content to let me shine

you always walked a step behind

i was the one with all the glory

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 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

i would be nothing without you

did you ever know that you're my hero

and everything i'd like to be?

i can fly higher than an eagle

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

did you ever know that you're my hero

and everything i'd like to be?

i can fly higher than an eagle

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

you are the wind beneath my wings
