Sorry/Grateful from Steven Soundheim's musical Company
Spoken: Harry, You ever sorry you got married?
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.
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.
Good things get better, bad get worse,
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse.
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.
Nothing to do with, all to do with her.

That's wonderful. Great lyrics... it says so much about acceptance as the essence of love.
I think so too and thought it was the perfect song to celebrate 21 years of marriage. :)
