  We develop an approach based on the light-cone sum rules at the leading order
of $\alpha_S$ to calculate the gravitational form factors $A(t)$ and $B(t)$ for
the valence quark combinations in nucleon. Within the proposed model, the
predictions for the gravitational form factor $D(t)$ ($D$-term contributions)
have been presented. Comparison with the experimental data and with the results
of different models is discussed.
