[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The phone had rung; his voice was calm
Before he could tell her anything, she knew something was wrong
"I love you so." Last words he'd said
She said, "I love you, too."
And then the phone went dead

[Chorus]
Little did she know she'd kissed a hero
Though he'd always been one in her eyes
For when faced with certain death
He 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
He doesn't need a pair of wings to fly
