the wind beneath my wings - Bette Midler the wind beneath my wings
"Wind Beneath My Wings" is a U.S. number-one single by Bette (More) the wind beneath my wings
"Wind Beneath My Wings" is a U.S. number-one single by Bette Midler from the soundtrack of the film Beaches. It was named Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 1990.
Written by Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar,[1] the song has also been recorded by Sheena Easton, B.J. Thomas, Perry Como, Lee Greenwood, Willie Nelson, Kiki Carter, Nana Mouskouri, Sonata Arctica, Judy Collins, Colleen Hewett, Kris Shay and many others. It was performed by Peggy Lee in Atlantic City as early as 1984. It was performed on season three of the Fox television show American Idol by semi-finalist Marque Lynche, and again on season five by finalist Paris Bennett, who was criticized for the choice by judge Simon Cowell as "sounding too old for [her] age". It was also performed by Nicola Roberts during Popstars: The Rivals, and sung by actor Will Ferrell to actress and long-time Midler fan Megan Mullally.
Although the song has become primarily associated with Bette Midler, other versions of the song were released to the public years before Midler's. Sheena Easton (on her album Madness, Money and Music) and Roger Whittaker both released versions of the song in 1982,[2] though neither had a hit with it. The song entered various U.S. charts the following year in versions by Gary Morris, Gladys Knight (her version was released under the title "Hero"), and Lou Rawls (whose version was a top ten Adult Contemporary hit).
In a recent U.K. poll, "Wind Beneath My Wings" was found to be the most-played song at British funerals.[3]
This song is considered to be Midler's signature song.
The song appears at 269 in the Songs of the Century list compiled by the RIAA.
The song is often featured in the top five feel-good and film-theme countdowns on such channels as MTV, TMF, and the Music Factory.[citation needed]
Midler sang the song at a 9/11 benefit at the Yankee stadium.
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.
CHORUS:
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and ev'rything I would 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, of course I know it,
I would be nothing with out you.
(CHORUS)
Fly, fly, fly away,
you let me fly so high.
Oh, fly, fly,
so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings. (Less)
