This is for you, Neal

To the tune of "Wind Beneath My Wings", popularized by Bette Midler (a la Beaches)

Did you ever know that you're my hero...
You're everything I wish I could be...
I can fly higher than an eagle...
Because Neal Conan is the wind beneath my wings...

I've come to rely on Talk of the Nation...
For its balanced coverage of today's current events...
It's the best news-talk call-in show...
Hosted by Neal Conan, the wind beneath my wings...

Did know that Neal Conan is Lebanese...
Or that he was once New York and London Bureau chief...
You can find all this in his bio on NPR's website...
Because Neal Conan is the wind beneath my wings...

Fly...Fly...Fly away on the radio waves of NPR... (x2)

Thank you! Thank God for you and Talk of the Nation....

Fly away on the radio waves of NPR...

(All y'all are lucky I couldn't figure out how to put my vocalizations - not really singing - of these inspired lyrics on here!)
