The Wind Beneath My Wings Lyrics - Perry Como

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 

I never once heard you complain 

Did you ever know that you're my hero? 

And everything I'd like to be? 

I can 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 nothin' without you! 

Did you ever know that you're my hero? 

And everything I'd like to be? 

I can fly higher than an eagle 

'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings 

You are the wind beneath my wings!
