The Wind Beneath My Wings (American Idol Performance)

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be.
I can fly higher than an eagle
when 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.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
you're everything I wish I could be.
I can fly higher than an eagle
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero
you're everything everything I wish I could be
oh and I I can fly higher than an eagle
and you are the wind beneath my wings
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh 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're the wind beneath my wings oh you you you
the wind beneath my wings
Fly fly fly against the sky
so high I almost touch the sky
thank you thank you
thank god for you
the wind beneath my wings
