~ The lyrics for the song we are using for the challenge ~

"Wind Beneath My Wings"
by Bette Midler

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
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 strength.
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,
'cause 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.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Means that, not only is it supposed to be the most romantic day of the year, but today also see's an exciting new challenge go live in the Cupboard ...

I have a chosen Valentines Day, as a tribute to Sarah Lawrence who suddenly died in December 2011, she designed the stamp we will be using in this months challenge.  Sarah was the owner of Craftynotions & was a well known & respected mixed media & texture artist who had authored several books. She was also an enthusiastic teacher & demonstrator!

Katy Fox said " This design is fitting for Sarah because she had a big heart, who loved what she did with a passion rarely encountered, she was a very talented & lovely lady & she will be a big loss to the craft world"
