Always Happy

______________________________________

Wind Beneath My Wings

It must have been cold there, in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You've been content to let me shine, you always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength
Beautyful face without a name, beautyful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero, and 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 I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth, I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero, you're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you you're my hero, you're everyhtingI wish I could be,
And I, I can fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you're the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, fly higher in the sky, So high I almost touch the sky,
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
