Wind Beneath My Wings
Performed by Bette Middler in the movie "Beaches"

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face.

You've been content to let me shine.
You always walked a step behind.

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength.

Only a face without a name
And I never once heard you complain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I'd like to be?

I could 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 could fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

You are the wind beneath my wings.
