He found some socks

She chose his tie

And 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

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

Now he doesn't need a pair of wings to fly
