Sad Contentment

"I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Gives you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man"
-Bruno Mars, "When I Was Your Man" 

I wonder if there's such a word that describes the emotion as in the last chorus.  Before that part, I definitely felt the regret and sadness, but the last chorus is different, I feel.

The last chorus is sadly content.  It's a mixture of having let go and still aware of the reprecussions of his actions, mindful of his inability to change what can no longer be changed.
