He found some socks, she chose his tie
When he left for work that morning
He was just another guy, going to work, he'd have to fly
Out to a meeting in L.A. so she had kissed him twice goodbye
Little did she know she'd kissed a hero
Though he'd always been one in her eyes
But when faced with certain death
He'd said a prayer and took a breath
And led an army of true angels in the sky
Little did she know she'd kissed a hero
Though he'd always been an angel in her eyes
Putting others first it's true, that's what heroes always do
And now he doesn't need a pair of wings to fly
The phone had rung, his voice was calm
Before he could tell her anything, she knew something was wrong
I love you so, the last words he'd said
She said, I love you too and then the phone went dead
Little did she know she'd kissed a hero
Though he'd always been one in her eyes
But when faced with certain death
He'd said a prayer and took a breath
And led an army of true angels in the sky
Little did she know she'd kissed a hero
Though he'd always been an Angel in her eyes
Putting others first it's true, that's what heroes always do
And now he doesn't need a pair of wings to fly
Now he doesn't need a pair of wings to fly
