Muito provavelmente a melhor canção do mundo

Sorry-Grateful
(Stephen Sondheim, Company, 1970)



ROBERT [speaking]:
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.

HARRY:
Nothing to do with, all to do with her.
