I AM BACK BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  [ANGELICA]

There are moments that the words don't reach

NO one where able to say anything, they where all so stunned. the only thing that could be heard from their group was the occactional gasps from Alexander.

There is suffering too terrible to name

'why' was the only thing going through any of their brains.

You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable

"yeah." Hamilton agreed. He has pushed away a lot of his feelings over the years he had been alive.

The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down

[ANGELICA/ENSEMBLE]
The Hamiltons move uptown

"you moved?"John asked more to himself than to Hamilton.

And learn to live with the unimaginable

[HAMILTON]
I spend hours in the garden

"What where you doing?""thinking."

I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before

'what!? We never knew that!" Jefferson thought sarcastic.

I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

"I am so sorry son, no one should have to go through this. That goes for you as weel Thomas. I am sorry for you loss too."


[ANGELICA AND WOMEN]
If you see him in the street, walking by
Himself, talking to himself, have pity

"we did." Burr sighed.


[HAMILTON]
Philip, you would like it uptown
It's quiet uptown

"Phillip always liked the quiet.."


[ANGELICA AND WOMEN]
He is working through the unimaginable

[ALL MEN (EXCEPT HAMILTON)]
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city

"I walked longer than that."Hamilton sighed.

[HAMILTON]
You knock me out, I fall apart

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]
Can you imagine?

"no.."


[HAMILTON]
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza

" I didn't deserve her. She was an amazing person and I was... well... me."

But hear me out. That would be enough

If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine

"would you do that?!" Jefferson asked a bit surprised.

He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost

'Well....you did have like seven or eightother children soooo...' Jefferson thought, but he couldn't voice them. He had too felt the pain of losing a child.

And you need time
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough

"and she let you." Burr concluded.


[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]
If you see him in the street, walking by her
Side, talking by her side, have pity

"did she ever talk back?" Hercules asked. "Once."


[HAMILTON]
Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]
He is trying to do the unimaginable

"yes. I was trying."

See them walking in the park, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city

[HAMILTON]
Look around, look around, Eliza

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]
They are trying to do the unimaginable

[ANGELICA]
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
They are standing in the garden

"the one you sat in?" "yeah."

Alexander by Eliza's side
She takes his hand

[ELIZA]
It's quiet uptown

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?

"you really chose wisely when in came to the choice of your wife."

If you see him in the street, walking by her
Side, talking by her side, have pity
They are going through the unimaginable
