If I Could (Wind Beneath My Wings)

If I could

I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes

Give you courage in a world of compromise

Yes, I would

If I could

I would teach you all the things I've never learned

And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned

Yes, I would

If I could

Did you ever know that you're my hero

You're everything 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

That I will be nothing without you

(If I could)

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

(I would try to shield your innocence from time)

You're everything, everything I wish I could be

(But that part of life I gave you isn't mine)

Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle

(I watched you grow)

'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Oh, the wind beneath my wings

Fly (I watched you grow)

Fly (So I can let you go)

Fly high in the sky

So high I almost touched the sky

Thank you (If I could)

Thank you (Then I would)

Thank God for you

The wind beneath my wings
