Wind Beneath My Wings    (SNW 708)   Maarten Weijers   (Bette Midler)

 

OPENER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

It must have been cold there in my shadow
to never have sunlight on your face

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
You were content to let me shine

SWING and PROMENADE
you always walked a step behind

 

FIGURE

The HEADS SQUARE THRU FOUR - DO SA DO your Corner Girl

SWING THRU and then –SPIN THE TOP

Do the RIGHT AND LEFT THRU and turn your Girl

SQUARE THRU go THREE Quarters ‘round - and you SWING - you PROMENADE her

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

 

 

MIDDLE BREAK
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

So I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strain

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
Only a face without a name

SWING and PROMENADE
I never once heard you complain

 

 

CLOSER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  

It might have appeared to go unnoticed

But I’ve got it all here in my heart

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
I want you to know, I know the truth

SWING and PROMENADE
I would be nothing without you

 

 

 TAG - FOUR Ladies CHAIN – over and back

                                  Thank God for you - you are the wind

                                                                             - - - - Beneath my wings

 

 

Original Lyrics:

 

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 walked a step behind

 

So I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strain

Only a face without a name

I never once heard you complain

 

Did you ever know that you're my hero

And everything I’d like to be

I can fly higher than an eagle

But 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

I would be nothing without you
