The Evolution Of A Hit Song

It started out as a poem. Then it turned into a song. Then it became a background song for the movie “Beaches.” After various song covers at home and abroad, in 1988, Bette Midler made “Wind Beneath My Wings” a #1 hit in the USA. A year later, the song won Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Here’s my version.

When You Were Simply Everything

It must have been cold there in my shadow? To never have sunlight on your face? You were content to let me shine? You always this walk disturbed behind? So I was the one with all the glory? Why you were the one with all the strength? A beautiful face without a name? Beautiful smile? Did you ever know that you're my hero? And everything I'd like to be? I could fly higher than an eagle? You are the wind beneath my wings? It might have appeared to go unnoticed? But I have 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? Everything I'd like to be? I could fly higher than an eagle? You are the wind beneath my wings? Cause you are the wind beneath my wing.
