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 (yes, I do!). I would be nothing without you.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero And everything I wish I could be? I can fly higher than an eagle, 'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
