Music & Lyrics: Bette Middler – Capo 3
[Verse 1]
G C
_ It must have been cold there in my shadow,
G C
_ to never have sunlight on your face.
Am D
You were content to let me shine; that’s your way.
Am D
You always walked a step behind.
[Verse 2]
G C
_ So I was the one with all the glory,
G C
_ while you were the one with all the strain.
Am D
A beautiful face without a name; for so long.
Am D B7
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
[Chorus]
Em C G
_ Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
Em C G D
_ and everything I would like to be?
Em C G D
_ I can fly higher than an eagle
C D G
_ for you are the wind beneath my wings.
[Verse 3]
G C
_ It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
G C
_ but I’ve got it all here in my heart.
Am D
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
Am D B7
I would be nothing without you.
[Chorus] 2x
