Intro: Bb Eb (2x)
Bb Eb
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
Bb Eb
to never have sunlight on your face.
Cm F
You were content to let me shine, that's your way,
Cm F
you always walked a step behind.
Bb Eb
So I was the one with all the glory,
Bb Eb
while you were the one with all the strength.
Cm F
A beautiful face without a name, for so long,
Cm F D7
a beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Gm Eb Bb
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Gm Eb Bb F
and ev'rything I would like to be?
Gm Eb Bb F
I can fly higher than an eagle,
Eb F Bb
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Bb Eb
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
Bb Eb
but I've got it all here in my heart.
Cm F
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it,
Cm F
I would be nothing with out you.
Gm Eb Bb
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Gm Eb Bb F
and ev'rything I would like to be?
Gm Eb Bb F
I can fly higher than an eagle,
Eb F Bb
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away,
you let me fly so high.
Oh, fly, fly,
so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wing
