Letra The Wind Beneath My Wings de Perry Como original

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!
