THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS (Larry Henley & Jeff Silbar) (Artist: 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
strength,
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?
And I can fly higher than an eagle when you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I have got it all here in my heart,
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I do, 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 you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything, everything I wish I
could be.
And I could fly higher than an eagle 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you are the wind beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly, fly high. You let
me fly so high,
You, you, you, the wind beneath my wings. You, you, you, the wind beneath my
wings.
Fly, fly so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Or, here's a crazy thought, post the lyrics here! No offence intended,
but I'm getting a little tired of seeing this over and over again. People
in this newsgroup, whether they've asked for a particular song or are
just wandering through the messages, want LYRICS, not just a link for
where to find them. Some songs are over-requested, sure, and Wayne
does an excellent job of posting this list, but I don't think this song is
on there. Slap me silly if it is, Wayne, just trying to help :-)
The following transcription is mine straight from the soundtrack version,
not from the Lyrics Server, so you may find some differences, enjoy.
Wind Beneath My Wings
Written by Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar
Performed by Bette Midler
Available on the soundtrack for the movie "Beaches"
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 strength
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 can 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, so high it hits the skies
So high I almost touched the sky
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
Cheers,

I agree! I too am getting a little tired of replies with the single line "go
to www.lyrics.ch" posted every 5 or 6 messages. I suspect that the lurkers
in this newsgroup outnumber the posters by a lot and they come here hoping
to find lyrics. Mind you, I'd much rather see a link than the lyrics for
frequently-requested songs like "American Pie" or "Hotel California" but, as
you said, this song isn't in that category.
Also, I've found that a lot of the lyrics from www.lyrics.ch are inaccurate
and/or incomplete. By posting the lyrics in the newsgroup instead of just
the URL, others can comment on them and post corrections.
I like to post the lyrics *and* the URL so that readers will learn where to
look for lyrics on the web. Many of the songs that are requested here are
easily found on the web with a little effort. By making readers aware of
some of the better lyrics archives on the web, I hope that they'll be able
to find many of the songs they're looking for themselves instead of posting
requests in the newsgroup. Ideally, I'd like to see only hard-to-find songs
requested. Of course, that will never happen, but I think that anything we
can do toward that end will improve the newsgroup.

Forgive that aggressive <snip>. That's a good idea, Wayne. Of course, it might
be self-defeating to that purpose to post URLs for some places these lyrics come
from, since some of these are dark corners of the Internet where the average
surfer might never come across. But if they're from an easy one like ILS, then
appending a URL might encourage some independance with searching, and cut down
those fifty-gazillion requests for such easy ones as "Hotel California".
I've been guilty on more than one occasion of pointing people to ILS or similar
search sites. But if the song is something easy like "Hotel California" and I
have an interesting bit of info to add or a question to ask, I'll reference a
search site in favor of a shorter post. How do you feel about that? How much
should we balance including lyrics versus encouraging use of known sites for
lyrics?

My personal preference is, that if the song is sitting right there on the
Lyrics Server, I just point people to it. If we provide the lyrics they're
asking for, they might not bother going to the server themselves (after all,
why should they -- we've just given them what they came here looking for,
right?) and then they won't realize how easy it is to find things there, and
how many songs the server has ... so the next time they want more lyrics,
they'll just come back here and ask us again instead of checking for themselves.
By providing the lyrics that are easily obtained from the server, I think we're
encouraging readers to ask us to do their work for them.
I think it's great for anyone who can to provide the requested lyrics if they're
*not* on the Lyrics Server -- and a link to the URL where they were found, too, so
that we can be aware of new places to look. But it seems to me (this is only my
opinion, of course, and I am a relative newbie to the group, so take this for what
it's worth) is that this group ought to be a place where we try to provide lyrics
for people who can't find what they're looking for on the ILS.
I look at it like I look at helping my kids ... if they say "Do we have any juice?"
and I say, "Yes, we do, it's in the refrigerator. I'll pour you a glass and bring it
to you," then I'm pretty much buying into a lifetime of bringing juice to my kid.
But if they say "Do we have any juice?" and I say "Yes, we do, it's in the refrigerator"
then eventually the kid learns that if he wants juice, he should go look and see if
there's any in the refrigerator. That way, I only need to be involved in it if we
happen to have run out of juice.
Oh, and btw, I also agree that the lyrics at the ILS quite often contain errors ...
but the lyrics.corrections newsgroup is up and running and seems to be actively
working to solicit the correct lyrics from those who know the right ones.
Just my 2 cents

Come again? What is the address of that newsgroup?
Nancy - I understand what you are saying, but they ILS has so many mistakes or
less than all the lyrics. If I get a URL in response to a request for lyrics, I
am a lot happier with a Lyrics World or Lyrics Library link than with an ILS
one. But the best is to get the actual lyrics -- which others can correct if
they think they are wrong or add to if they think they are incomplete.

Hi, I just wanted to poke my head in here and say that I agree, we should
list the url where one obtained the lyrics. Mainly I think so to give
credit to who ever did the transcription. If I just cut and paste lyrics
off of a site, and then don't say where I got them from, it mistakenly
looks like *I* am the one who took the time to either try to figure out
the words or copy them from the liner notes. Granted the web sites we get
them on may not be the ones who put any effort into it, but I at least
want to site my sources. That way, when I do take the time to actually
work through a song and transcribe it, I can impress whoever I am sending
the lyrics to :)

In my own little utopia, people would at least attempt to do some looking
themselves via dejanews, or various other lyric search engines! (just had
to get that off my chest!) It makes sense to me to simply reference a
source when the lyrics wanted are "easy" ones that are all over the place.
Especially when one wants to add a question or some trivia to the
response. The tricky part is determining what the easily found songs are.
I guess when in doubt, post the lyrics too.

That's the actual name of it as it shows up on my list of subscribed
newsgroups ... however, it comes from lyrics.ch as the newsgroup server,
rather than my ISP's regular list of groups. I vaguely understand the
technical reasons for this, but not well enough to explain them clearly.
Anyway, there is a way to get to the newsgroup without understanding where
it is. Just go to this page at the ILS:
http://www.lyrics.ch/newsgroups.html
From there, you'll see a list of the newsgroups they have available
from their server. One of them is lyrics.corrections, and people use it
to report errors or corrections that need to be made to the lyrics at
the server.
> I understand what you are saying, but they ILS has so many

I absoultely agree with you and with all the others, that the ILS lyrics are
often incorrect or filled with typos -- but I also think that it's by far
the most comprehensive lyrics site out there on the Web (well, along with
Lyrics World, which I admit I'm getting to like more and more these days) and
that the best thing to do about their less than 100 percent accuracy rate is
to try to correct whatever errors we find there.

I know what you mean. It's a judgment call each time, and at least when I reply,
a lot depends on whether I've got a bunch of time to kill or whether I'm just
making a quick stop here for a minute or two ... also, if I'm feeling like being
*really* helpful or just a *little* bit helpful (grin). Like I said in my
earlier note about getting something out of the refrigerator for my kids as
opposed to making them get it themselves ... hey, sometimes I'm nice and I'll
go get it for them, so I'm not *always* the big mean mama!

How about this as a rule of thumb?:
If the requested song is on the Frequently Requested Lyrics list at the
alt.music.lyrics website, DON'T post lyrics. Instead, direct the requester
to the Frequently Requested Lyrics list and/or post the URL of one or more
sites that have the lyrics. I usually just copy the relevant section from
the FRL list and paste it into my reply like this:

But, what if you post the lyrics *and* the url? That way they know where to go
next time. Also gives the newsgroup a chance to correct the lyrics.

I agree, but as you say yourself, these lyrics aren't always correct.

And, using your anology, I say we should give them the juice AND the instructions
for the fridge at least once or twice, then they can get their butts off the couch and
get it for themselves ;-)

Excellent, I'm glad to see they've been listening to the masses. It's a terrific resource,
don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't be used as this newsgroup's bible.

I checked that link and there isn't one.

With that in mind, I'm looking for a song I heard ONCE on the radio late
one night. The radio station was doing old time country music, so I believe
that the song I'm looking for old time country.
Anyway, the song is a duet between a man and a woman.
Man: I'm going to wear the pants in this house.
Woman: I'll tell you which pair to wear.
and later on.
Woman: I'll let you think that you're in charge.
And we'll get along fine as long as you think you really do.
Or something like that. As I said I've only heard it once, and I was in my
car so I couldn't immediately write down the lyrics.
Artists and Label info also appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim
