英文歌詞:
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, And 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? You're everything I wish I could be, I could fly higher than an eagle, 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 the truth, 'cause I know it, I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything everything I wish I could be, I could fly higher than an eagle, You are the wind beneath my wings.
Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything everything I wish I could be, I could fly higher than an eagle, You are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high away, Fly high away, so high So high I could almost touch the sky Thank you, thank you Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
