Wind Beneath My Wings

Music and Lyrics by Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar
performed by Bette Midler

Context: Ep. 4.09, "Something Blue": When Buffy and Spike were under Willow's spell and believed themselves in love, Buffy wanted to play this song for the first dance at their wedding reception. Looking at the lyrics, they're actually surprising appropriate to later seasons!

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

I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength,
only a face without a name,
and I never once heard you complain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything that I'd like to be.
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

You might have thought it went unnoticed
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth
That I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero
and everything that I'd like to be.
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
