Grace Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I am sailing on a sunken dream.
I try to read the signs but don't know what they mean.
I know when I'm with you I'm a rich man baby

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace a soul that's torn
I have got so much to give you

My heart is starved of love in these radio days.
I try to listen hard to what my conscience says.
I know I've sold my soul, I'm gonna earn it back now.

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace a soul that's torn
I have got so much to give you

Now that you'll believe in me we can fly away somewhere safe.
I know that you will always be giving more than you can take.
I know when I'm with you I'm a rich man baby.

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace a soul that's torn
Grace, it can mend if you make my heart your friend
Grace. Grace.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Actually, I was reading the other day that he wrote this song for his unborn daughter (Nicole Appleton was pregnant, she got an abortion due to pressure from her record label). He was very excited about the pregnancy.

I read the same. It's a sad story really. But a lovely song.

This is such a sweet cute song....bossanova style...makes you feel good instantly, and show us how Robbie is when he is in love (back then he had a serious relationship with Nicole Appleton and he was head over heels for her). You can sense it in the whole "I've been expecting you" album, and so far it has not happened again...Robbie haven't had another quite long relationship since that one. "I know when I'm with you I'm a rich man baby"....:) A cute home made video of this song can be found in the dvd "Angels" :)

Have you ever noticed that the bossanova start has a very similar melody to the start of a song by The Style Council called Headstart for happiness?

Sorry, I've never heard that one. But the bossanova feel is delicious.

It's his way to say "I love you" and I adore this song!
