State of Grace Billy Joel

There you go
Slipping away into a state of grace
I know the look that comes across your face
It's so familiar to me

Here I am
Trying to keep you in my line of sight
I'm never certain that you read me right
Sometimes you don't want to see

Here we are
Both of us know we're in love
But that isn't always enough
I never could rise above it all, down I fall

But darling there you go
Slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place
Still it's the world that I'm in

Here I am
Talking while you don't hear a word I say
Knowing you're watching me from far away
Somewhere that I've never been

Don't you see
You lived a different life than me
It don't mean you have to be afraid of how
We're not the same, don't leave me now
