Bette Midler by Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar from "Beaches"
Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
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 know it. I
would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're
everything I wish I could be. I could 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 could fly higher than an
eagle, for you are the wind beneath my
wings, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my
wings. Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high. Oh, you, you, you, the wind
beneath my wings. Oh, you, you, you, the
wind beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly high
against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my
wings.
