Wind Beneath My Wings | Filed under General

I have started several times my special tribute to Christopher Reeve but how does one say all the things they feel when they realize before they start “Superman” he was. However that is not what he will be remembered for nor is that what he will want to be remembered for. This was a man of such courage and though he was not standing he stood tall above many so when I think of him this is how I will be thinking of him for some reason…

“Wind Beneath My Wings”

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.

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.

Yes Christopher Reeve you will always be the Wind beneath my wings and so many others.

I never knew or thought so much about flying but I had a very dear friend who suffered paralysis secondary to Multiple Sclerosis and he was always telling me one day he would fly , fly , fly high against the sky even if he did not walk and he is most likely racing with Chris as they watch me type this …..

    I love this song, Sweet N Sassy!

    I wish I could see Chris flying now! He was a true hero!

    Did you ever see him in the movie “Somewhere in Time”? It’s one of his best, and one of my favorites!

    He will definitely be missed, that’s a given.
