Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
The narrator addresses a compassionate woman whose concern reaches beyond their own relationship to the suffering of others. He recalls their friendship, imagines a future together and offers care as the world changes around them. Planting seeds becomes a way to remember the path home before time and distance obscure it.

Lyrics
Lady Grace
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
LADY GRACE You cry your tears for all Mankind As another Mother's child gets left behind Seems it's always got to be about the bottom line What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine I'm kind of wishing we were going back in time Way before we walked across the Borderline Seems like now the two of us are on a long white line Something coming through to us in the very nick of time Indifferent to your situation You became a friend of mine I came in without reservation All for the very first time With nothing but a high school education I asked you to be mine Another little minute of hesitation Another little miracle, so Divine CHORUS Oh, Lady Grace So good to see the smile upon your face A Star in every way, you just carry me away Now and Forever, tomorrow and today Oh, Sweet Lady Grace I see us going to another place We’ll disappear without a trace Maybe somewhere out in Space A new dimension there awaits So pay attention, don't be late I’ll wait for you by Heaven's Gate We'll leave it in the hands of fate When it's Time to say Goodbye I'll see you on the other side Come on, baby, please don't cry Let the stars shine in your eyes I want to be with you in every single way We'll never be as far away as we are from yesterday I guess it's time we plant some little seeds along the way To remember how we get home as the skies are turning gray Let me feed your every need and take your pain away When the sunshine turns to rain, like it did yesterday Let this springtime afternoon just take your breath away No more sad and lonely nights as you just fade away CHORUS Oh, Lady Grace So good to see the smile upon your face A Star in every way, you just carry me away Now and Forever, tomorrow and today Oh, Sweet Lady Grace I see us going to another place Nights in White Satin and lace Oh, my darling, Lady Grace *********
