Wind beneath my wings

I'm obsessed with the song "Wind beneath my wings" (sung by Bette Midler) at the moment. Here's some words:

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.

It's from a film called Beaches which is about two best friends, one who's a famous singer and sings this song for her friend. It sounds plotless but it isn't, it's a gorgeous film that makes me cry every time I see it because it's so sad at the end. I annoy myself with my soppiness sometimes.
