SNARK ALERT!
Do you think "Wind Beneath My Wings" is their song?
Not that Tom would have an affinity for the collected works of Bette Midler or anthing....
Come on, everybody now
Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh. 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.Posted by Steve at August 17, 2005 10:17 PM | TrackBackSo 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.Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for 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 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,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
Anyone who'd divorce Nicole Kidman is an idiot.
Posted by: rbj at August 18, 2005 09:07 AMThis song is definitely on the list for my "Fisking the Lyrics" series, but we have "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and a few country western tunes coming up before it.
There are certain songs whose lyrics should never, ever be read, and this is one of them. At some point shortly after "Did I ever tell you you're my hero?" it crossed the line between lame and excruciating.
