Stephen Sondheim
Sorry-Grateful
[BOBBIE]
Harry, you ever sorry you got married?
[HARRY]
You're always sorry
You're always grateful
You're always wondering
What might have been -
Then she walks in
And still you're sorry
And still you're grateful
And still you wonder
And still you doubt -
And she goes out
Everything's different, nothing's changed
Only maybe slightly rearranged
You're sorry-grateful
Regretful-happy
Why look for answers
When none occur?
You always are what you always were
Which has nothing to do with, all to do with her
[DAVID]
You're always sorry
You're always grateful
You hold her, thinking:
"I'm not alone."
You're still alone
You don't live for her
You do live with her
You're scared she's starting
To drift away
And scared she'll stay
[LARRY]
Good things get better, bad get worse
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse
[HARRY, DAVID, LARRY]
You're sorry-grateful
Regretful-happy
Why look for answers
When none occur?
You'll always be what you always were
Which has nothing to do with, all to do with her
You'll always be what you always were
Which has nothing to do with, all to do with her
[HARRY]
Nothing to do with, all to do with her
