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 LA 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
