이것 또한 내가 무척이나 좋아하는 노래다.
오랫만에 생각이 나서 볼륨 잔뜩 키워놓고 틀었다.
두번 들었고 두번 모두 팔다리에 소름이 돋았다.
베트 미들러 노래들에는 The Rose 도 있고 From a Distance 도 있지만, 이 노래가 가장 내 취향이다.
재미있는 사실이, 어느나라에선 이것이 결혼 축가에서 인기있는 노래이기도 하지만 친한 친구의 장례식에서 부르면 좋을만한 노래의 설문조사에서도 상위권에 들었다는 점이다.
난 그냥 혼자 있을 때 하늘 보며 누워서 듣고 싶은 곡인데 말이다…
Wind beneath my wings
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.
