Gerald Levert - Wind Beneath My Wings Lyrics

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

See, 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, no

Did you ever know that you're my hero
You're everything I would like to be
I could fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But daddy, daddy, daddy I've got it all
Right here in my heart, yes I do say
And I want you to know, I know the truth
I know you know the truth about it
I would be nothing, nothing without you, you

Did you ever know that you're my hero
You're everything I would like to be
You're a part of me, you're a part of me
I could fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath the old man's wings
You are the wind beneath my wings, my wings

See, daddy I remember you were
On the stage singing your song
Singing your song, now
That's why I used to take you and your brothers on the road
I used to carry, I used to carry y'all along
But now I'm proud we can stand up here
And sing it together now, hey yeah
It's so good to see your dreams come true
Right here and right now, right now

It might have appeared to go unnoticed, unnoticed
(No, it didn't daddy)
But, son I've got it all right here in my arms
In my arms, in my heart
I want you to know that I know the truth
Yes, I do, yes I do
I would be nothing daddy
Nothing, zero, zero without you, without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero
If you didn't, I'm telling you now daddy, daddy
You're everything I would like to be
My son, my son, you're a part of me
I could fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath your daddy's wings
You are the wind beneath your little son's wings, wings
