Grace Patricia Kelly (November 12, 1929 – September 14, 1982) was an American actress who, in April 1956, married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, to become Princess consort of Monaco, styled as Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco, and commonly referred to as Princess Grace.
After embarking on an acting career in 1950, at the age of 20, Grace Kelly appeared in New York City theatrical productions as well as in more than forty episodes of live drama productions broadcast during the early 1950s Golden Age of Television. In October 1953, with the release of Mogambo, she became a movie star, a status confirmed in 1954 with a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nomination as well as leading roles in five films, including The Country Girl, in which she gave a deglamorized, Academy Award-winning performance. She retired from acting at 26 to enter upon her duties in Monaco. She and Prince Rainier had three children: Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie. She also retained her American roots, maintaining dual US and Monégasque citizenships.
Plot
Grace Kelly, the American beauty who became a princess the whole world fell in love with, was born to an Irish- American Family in Philadelphia. American Royalty is the graphic story of how her family, led by her father Jack Kelly, was the foundation and catalyst for what she later achieved and became. Jack Kelly was a first generation American who sought to prove that he could reach the highest levels of American Society despite the fact that he belonged to an Irish minority that was shunned by the privileged upper class of Philadelphia. Jack Kelly won three Olympic gold medals and became one of the major sports heroes in 1920's America. He then later drove his son Kell to continue the family's quest for greatness in sports. At the same time he neglected his wife and his daughter Grace as he went on to have affairs and indulge in the power of fame and wealth. When Grace left home and found her own path to success as an actress, Jack Kelly intruded. After the family reached a breaking point in a sudden and painful turn of events, Jack found his way to redemption and the family was saved. In his last years Jack Kelly had the distinct satisfaction of seeing his family achieve a pinnacle of esteem as Grace won an Oscar and became a Princess whose fame and recognition has endured as a lasting icon of style, beauty, elegance and glamour.

VERSE
Sweet sweet baby
How I love to wake up in your arms every morning
Sweet sweet baby
How your kisses never grow old
And I love to hear you say
I love you
( i love you)
You know everyday I just grow
More crazy about you
Sweet sweet baby
VERSE 2:
Sweet sweet baby
You’ll never know all the things you do that make me smile
Sweet sweet baby
I love to cuddle up and watch some tv for a while
Cause lying here the world, the world slows down
(slows down)
The blaring sirens
The city noise
Turns to distant sounds
Sweet sweet baby
BRIDGE
Let’s run away for the month of June
Float up to mars in a big balloon
Then after lets rent a UFO
float up o space see if creatures roam
or we could
Go to Bermuda to see pink sand
Or stay at home and have nothing planned
It doesn’t matter, as long as we go as two
Sweet sweet baby
VERSE
Sweet sweet baby
I never let someone like you inside my life
Sweet sweet baby
Then you turn your head And you look right in my eyes
I know that this time
This times for real
(for real)
Cause when you hold me in your arms
The whole world disappears
Sweet sweet baby
Es war in Monaco letztes Jahr
Ich strich ihr zärtlich übers Haar
Sie sah auf die Uhr, dann sah sie mich an:
'Es ist schon spät, ich muss zurück zu meinem Mann.'
Und ich ließ sie gehn
Warum habe ich sie gehen lassen?
Dafür werde ich mich immer hassen
Grace Kelly, pass auf, in der Kurve lauert der Tod
Grace Kelly, pass auf, in der Kurve lauert der Tod
So fuhr sie davon und sie war so schön
Ich hab sie als Letzter noch lebend gesehn
Sie winkte noch einmal mit der linken Hand
Bevor sie um die nächste Kurve verschwand
Jetzt war alles zu spät! Grace Kelly, verlass mich nicht
Wie soll ich leben ohne dich?
Grace Kelly, pass auf, in der Kurve lauert der Tod ...
Wir hatten schon Pläne wegen einer Scheidung
Doch am nächsten Tag las ichs in der Zeitung
Meine Welt stürzte ein wie ein Kartenhaus
Ich brach auf der Stelle in Tränen aus
Und das Volk weinte mit mir
Warum hat Gott das zugelassen?
Ich kann es immer noch nicht fassen
Grace Kelly ist tot, Grace Kelly ist tot
Grace Kelly ist tot, Sie ist tot ...
Grace Kelly ist tot
I wanna talk to you
{The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears
I promise you that won't happen again}
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
Yeah, I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?
I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
{Getting angry doesn't solve anything}
How can I help it? How can I help it?
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby, hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?
I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
Say what you want to satisfy yourself, hey!
But you only want what everybody else
Says you should want, you should want
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
{Humphry, we're leaving}
