WIND BENEATH MY WINGS (BEACHES, 1988)

Undeniably, one of the greatest tearjerker of all time came from the 1988 movie Beaches. It's about the friendship between two women that outlasted everything, including death. They met as young girls in the beach and spent their last days together in the beach as well. Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey are very convincing as CC Bloom and Hillary. No doubt, guys will cry in this movie, too.

WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

sung by: Bette Midler

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

So I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strain

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
