Willie Nelson

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
