Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler

A#                                 D#
It must have been cold there in my shadows,

A#                             D#
To never have sunlight on your face.

Cm       A#                F
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.

Cm         A#            F
You always walked a step behind.

A#                              D#
Well I was the one with all the glory;

A#                                D#
And you were the one with all the strain.

Cm          A#             F
A beautiful face without a name, for so long...

Cm          A#                F
A beautiful smile to hide the pain!

(Chorus)
Gm          D#                  A#
Did you ever know that you're my hero?

Gm            D#              A#
And everything I would like to be?

Gm         D#             A#
I could fly higher than an eagle,

D#              F               A#
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, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

(Chorus) Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

(same chords as chorus) Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
