I just recently lost my momma… she was 48 😢 Beaches was our favorite movie, so I knew this was perfect for her funeral. I hope you loved it mommy. I love you and I’ll miss you every second of every day 💔
My oldest sister died of cancer. Before passing she requested this song and a couple others be played at her funeral. I made a cd that was played during the service. Afterwards i put it in her coffin so she can hear it play in Heaven. I miss you sis and think of whenever i hear this song.
I too, want this played at my funeral services. This is on my top 3 favorite songs of all time and I was fortunate to see her in concert some years back. I sometime tear up hearing this song; I sure many do also.💜
Many people can sing a song, but only very few can tell the story of the song. Bette Midler tells the story while singing with such a heart and soul full of love for it. Simply extraordinary!! If there is heaven, Bette Midler singing this song must be that. Thank you for sharing this warmhearted moment. So, so beautiful....
My dad just passed away this weekend from cancer. He was originally diagnosed with a four month prognosis. He ended up defeating the odds and lasted 14 months. I will always cherish his wisdom and love for me. Rest in peace, Dad.
When I was a young boy, my mom would sit with me on the couch, put her arm around me, and sing this song to me. "You are the wind beneath my wings." Today my mother stretched her wings and left this world for a better place. I will always be the wind beneath your wings mom. Forever.
My husband loved this song and I had it played at his funeral over 12 years. It still makes me cry when ever I hear it sang by You Bette. Keep singing xx
Pamela it was my grandads favourite song it only occurs when there gone the words I'm sure ur husband and my grandad are our winds beneath are wings stay strong pam xxxxxx
Wow...She still slays it everytime! This song is so special to me. It was played at my Grandfather's funeral when he passed in 1998, and my father's too. He just passed last week and his funeral was 2 days ago. I'm still grieving heavily. I'll always greive the loss of them, it'll never get easier. RIP Paw Paw and Dad. 🕊💐 I love you both so much and I'll always miss y'all and carry you with me in my heart.

My partner and I went to see the movie "Beaches" together before he passed and this song always makes me tear up thinking about the good times we had and our hopes and dreams that only the young can have. Miss you everyday Warren. Love you 😘
One of my favorite songs. It reminds me of my sister, she was the wind beneath my wings. She always took steps behind me to let me shine for years. She was my hero. Because she supported me in everything I tried to accomplish. Always supportive and a best friend I will never forget. She said I want you to do things I never did and reach for the very top. How many people are that selfless.
I cried when I heard her sing this song, because I lost my wife of 25 years to cancer in Dec. 2020, and Bette Midler was the first concert we went to together many years ago. Bette is amazing! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤

At 3:30 am on June 25, 2019, my wife of 28 yrs took her last breath. I got up early the next morning, was at my laptop, listening to the radio, low volume, Wind Beneath My Wings came on, I knew without a doubt I had to have this played at my wife's funeral. Every time I heard this song, no matter where I was during the day, I always thought of my wife, so I knew this had to be played. My wife would sing this song to me, she and I loved it. RIP Patti. I love you hun. I promise I will do my best to raise Isaac.
A few years ago, my beloved uncle in my native Sweden died from melanoma. I remember one of our last conversations was at a cafe in southern Sweden over a cup of coffee and a pastry. It was a great conversation which lasted about an hour. Just uncle and nephew. My uncle played a big part in my life while I was growing up. Uncle Bengt, I miss you so much. RIP. ❤❤
This song reminds me of my daughter. She was born wise. She went through every imaginable experience and survived under the most difficult circumstances. She truly has grown into an amazing woman.
I had this song played at my beautiful Mother’s funeral. I lost her on November 14, 2005. I call that her Angel Day. I can’t get through that day without tears and I cry every time I hear this song 💜
THIS WAS ONE OF MY MOTHERS FAVORITE SONGS FROM ONE OF HER FAVORITE MOVIES 'BEACHES'. WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY FROM COLON CANCER ON CHRISTMAS DAY LAST YEAR (12/25/14), WE HAD THIS SONG PLAYED AT HER FUNERAL. I CRIED THRU THE ENTIRE SERVICE. MA, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. R.I.P.
What a marvelous talent. It's no wonder Johnny Carson chose her as his final guest. She can act, sing, ....she can do comedy, drama, etc. She truly is as versatile as it gets.
Bette is the Mother of all Mothers. The one that sang the song of all songs that makes every man with a heart cry thinking of his Mother. It makes daughters listening to the lyrics reflect, give thanks and shed a tear too. I am so glad in the music industry today we have songs like this to help us pause, reflect and think. Thank you Bette you are our Hero and this song and those lyrics the wind beneath our wings.
I feel you. there are songs that hit deep in your heart and soul. this is one of those songs. my prayers go out to anyone who has lost a friends or family member to cancer. one day we will find the cure
Sitting in the front seat. The atmosphere was electric. Brilliant. Lovely voice to this song by bet Midler very outstanding performance by her . 💖💖🌹🌹💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Bette Midler is and was a truly nasty person. She actually had the audacity to taunt and criticize Karen Carpenter for no reason other than she was envious of Karen!
Frankie was the wind beneath my feet he was my life my happiness my soul but I can’t listen to this without crying it’s so beautiful and well performed by Bette
I had two sisters who died of cancer; one in 1966 and one in 2017; when I hear this song, I think of them because they never complained about their conditions and both of them were my heroes; I wish for one more moment to tell them how much I Love and Miss them and the memories I have of each of them will forever remain in my heart and mind.
One of the greatest entertainers of all time who only gets better with age, like fine wine. Me M is not only multi talented she also speaks out about cleaning up our planet. Thank you Ms M for entertaining and educating and look forward to your future endeavors. Sending much love and prayers to you and your family.
Bette midler......absolutely spectacular......never will that song be outdone by anyone........you are the best of the best ......God be with you always .......great actress and great vocalist ..............

He's the wind beneath my wing's..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Does anyone else remember her performance of this song during the public memorial service for those lost on 9/11? She was magnificent reaching down and touching the hearts of everyone listening. Nancy in Los Angeles
I dedicated this song to my Mom! She gave everything to our family! On October 26th, 2007 God took her home. I miss her soooo much! I still cry n sing this song in memory of her!!! 🖤
For my dearest 🙌Dad🌹today he past aways 19 years ago.. Bless and thank him for everything he wase and still is for me!! Bigg hugg to heaven!! Love and Light❤Xxx MD
My wife and I lost our daughter ,son in law ,2 grandsons due to auto accident March 4 2011 shortly before 4:00am. Y’all are the wind beneath our wings. Brandy was 30 yrs young son in law was 31, grandson Kendall was 9 Gavin was 6 yrs young. Lot of tears shed. We have a void in our hearts. We will see them in heaven! Keep the faith, don’t give up!! God will never leave are forsake you.
I've been a Bette Midler fan for more than 45 yrs, from her early appearances on Johnny Carson. I've been affected by many of her songs. This one, however, is special to me because of a very special woman in my life. Sheila & I have been friends since the moment we first met in Miami 41 yrs ago. She is such an amazing person, kind, loving, caring, funny - her laughter fills the room. She is my soul mate & I am so blessed, so lucky, to have Sheila in my life. She is very, very ill, some days unable to get out of bed, but still has such a zest for life. She is my hero, my soul mate, my friend. Sheila, you ARE the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Granted her voice is of an angel. I love her so much. Very funny great actor and singer but to say she is the best singer? There is the most amazing singer Whitney Houston who’s voice was given to us by God!
This song always makes me think of Mom. She is my greatest hero, my greatest inspiration and is the wind beneath my wings.Today is Mom's third Heaven day.
...Mom. I apologize for making such a stupid mistake. Not an excuse but I've had brain cancer & open surgery then a tremendous amount of radiaction that has impaired my speech, writing & spelling. Again, I apologize...
My mom turned 85 in April. She has dementia that is rapidly getting worse. Family hasn't been able to visit her and my dad at the Health Care Facility where they live since early March. Mom and Dad have been the best parents in the world. I have always thought of my mom when I listen to this song. She is and will always be my hero. I had to listen to this tonight. It sucks every bit of machoness right out of me as the tears roll down my face. "I love you mom! God Bless You, you are the wind beneath my wings."
Always have loved Bette, she sings with honesty. Many comments on here about wonderful dads, you were all very lucky, I'm envious as mine was horrible, luckily I had a great Mum.
My daughter was born with out surfactin in her lungs and was given a 50 percent chance to live.Shes now 23 and on her first day home.... Desiree I held you and sang this song to you.
This was my My Mums Favourite Song,we watched the film Beaches a week before she died ,so it brings back sad but Happy memories of her.I love you Mum,and miss you so much 😢😢❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song reminds me of my next-door neighbor who I loved. She passed away in the early 90s. How I miss her. I know she must be in heaven now. Love you, Iva Dell. See you soon.
Wow!!!! What an incredibly beautiful soulful, deliciously executed interpretation by no other than her very own creator! Ms Bette Midler has made this song very popular and loved, however you have refreshed it with a very different tone, very emotional taste and for that I’m twice immensely grateful for ever!!!!
Agree with you totally. I had The Prayer played at my Father's funeral. It is his Birthday today, so feeling somewhat lost and finding comfort with this beautiful song also. He was and will forever be my hero. It has been 2 years now and the pain is still raw, there is definitely no time limit for grief that is what I have learnt.
Still the most beautiful "dedicated to..." song ever written... And Bette's version will always be the best... Still can't get half way through the song without tears coming in my eyes...
Ms. Midler, wind b e each wings came out the same yr, my eldest son accidentally drowned, that song kept me going, he was t weny-eight, not old, not young. But I did not regain myself for almost 10 years. I have always admired you from the first moment I heard you. Bless God for giving you the talent to sing.
Love the wordings of this beautiful , touching song; it was played during my mother in law's funeral & my heart cried out for the loss of my fav. mother-in-law who helped babysit my kids when they were little; my hubby , who is a USNavy veteran considers his mom his heroine,,, God bless you Bette Midler for coming out with classic songs like this one; am your fan forever.
I first heard this song whilst driving home after losing a very close and dear friend every time I hear this the tears just flow for the lose of my dear friend. Thank you Bette this song means so much
Beaches love it -- mom you're the wind beneath my wings she passed in 2016 at 82. Smoked for 60 years and no medical history -- died of a pnemonary aneurysm
I did an illusion of Bette for years, my brother was my biggest fan. He passed away in 2002. I miss him so much. He loved when I would do this song. He died he took a piece of me with him as if one of my arms fell of, took the wind beneath my wings. I've never been the same since. God Bless us and forgive us all. I miss you Eric, Dad, Jeff, Wilbur, Zane, Frank, Deva, Gabe, Jack, Patrick, Adrian, Ricky, Kitty, RIP
