The Wind Beneath My Wings Lyrics

Nancy Lamott The Wind Beneath My Wings

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
