Love by Grace
Lara Fabian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the things that I wanted to say
The angry words that came from nowhere
without warning
That stole the moment and sent me away
And you standing there at the doorway crying
And me wondering if I'd ever be back
I didn't come here to lose
I didn't come here believing I would ever be
away from you
I didn't come here to find out
There's a weakness in my faith
I was brought here by the power of love
Love by grace
And I remember the road just went on forever
Just couldn't seem to turn that car around
'Till in the distance like a long lost treasure
A phone booth that just could not be found
And you standing there at the doorway waiting
And the moment when we laid back down
I said I didn't come here to leave you
I didn't come here to lose
I didn't come here believing I would ever be
away from you
I didn't come here to find out
There's a weakness in my faith
I was brought here by the power of love
Love by grace
That was just a moment in time
And one we'll never forget
One we can leave behind
'Cause when there was doubt
You'll remember I said
I didn't come here believing I would ever be
away from you
I didn't come here to find out
There's a weakness in my faith
I was brought here by the power of love
I was brought here by the power of love
Love by grace
In Lara Fabian's Love by Grace, the lyrics center around a moment of reconciliation between two lovers who had been fighting. The stormy imagery of the opening lines set the mood for the song, with the singer remembering the rain on the roof and the anger that pushed them apart. The unnamed narrator recalls the sadness they felt at seeing their partner crying at the door, wondering if they would ever come back.
The chorus reframes the situation, with the singer rejecting the idea that they came there to leave, to lose, or to discover a lack of faith. Instead, they declare that they were brought there by the power of love, encapsulated in the repeated phrase "love by grace." The second verse describes a moment of clarity when the couple is reunited after a long and difficult drive, emphasizing that the doubts and ugliness of the past should be left behind, and the power of love should be embraced.
One way to interpret the song is as a reminder of the resilience of relationships. Even when things look darkest, it's the power of love that brings us back together. The song suggests that this power is not an accident but is instead connected to grace, which can perhaps be understood as a divine force that helps us find our way back to each other. Ultimately, the song is a testament to the idea that, despite the difficulties and disappointments of life, love is a force that keeps us moving forward.

I remember the rain on the roof that morning
I remember the moment when everything changed, it was raining and the world felt heavy with emotion
And all the things that I wanted to say
That moment was filled with words I wished I had said, but now felt too late to share
The angry words that came from nowhere without warning
Suddenly, words of anger and frustration came out of nowhere, shocking both of us
That stole the moment and sent me away
Those words took something beautiful from us and pushed us apart
And you standing there at the doorway crying
I saw you crying, and it broke my heart to leave you in that state
And me wondering if I'd ever be back
As I walked away, I wondered if I was making a mistake and if we would ever see each other again
I said I didn't come here to leave you
Despite the situation, I never intended to leave you behind
I didn't come here to lose
I came with the goal of creating something that would last, not to lose what we had built together
I didn't come here believing I would ever be away from you
I felt invincible in our love, never doubting that we would always be together
I didn't come here to find out there's a weakness in my faith
Our love was so strong, I never imagined that doubt or weakness could enter into the equation
I was brought here by the power of love
Love was the driving force that brought us together and kept us connected
And I remember the road just went on forever
Our separation felt like it would never end, like there was no end in sight
Just couldn't seem to turn that car around
It was hard to change direction, to admit that I might have been wrong and try to make things right
Till in the distance like a long lost treasure
Finally, I saw a glimmer of hope, like finding something of value that you thought was lost forever
A phone booth that just could not be found
It wasn't much, just a small thing, but in that moment it felt like a miracle
And you standing there at the doorway waiting
I saw you waiting for me, and it gave me the strength to keep going
And the moment when we laid back down
Finally, we were back together, wrapped up in each other's arms and feeling complete
That was just a moment in time
Everything we went through before that moment doesn't matter anymore - because we have each other now
And one we'll never forget
This was a turning point for us, a moment that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives
One we can leave behind
We can move past our mistakes and focus on what we have now
Cause when there was doubt you'll remember I said
Even in our darkest moments, I always had faith in us and our love
I was brought here by the power of love
Love has the power to overcome everything, even the toughest times
Love by grace
Our love is a gift, something that we never thought we could have, but we were given anyway
