wind beneath my wings

Willie Nelson

It must've 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

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strain
A beautiful face without a name
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Chorus:
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
I would be nothing without you

(Chorus)

Did I ever tell you you're my hero
You're everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle
You are the wind beneath my wings

You are the wind beneath my wings
