Alright, alright, that's what I'm talkin' aboutNow everyone, give it up for the maid of honorAngelica Schuyler! (Whoo-hoo!)
A toast to the groom! (To the groom, to the groom, to the groom)To the bride! (To the bride, to the bride, to the bride)From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)Who's always by your side (by your side, by your side)To your union! (To the union, to the revolution!)And the hope that you provide (you provide, you provide)And may you always (always)Be satisfied (rewind)
Rewind, rewindHelpless, sky's, sky'sDrownin' in emDrownin', rewind
I remember that night, I just might (rewind)I remember that night, I just might (rewind)I remember that night, I remember that-
I remember that nightI just might regret that night for the rest of my daysI remember those soldier boysTrippin' over themselves to win our praiseI remember that dream-like candlelightLike a dream that you can't quite placeBut Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the sameIntelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frameAnd when you said, "Hi," I forgot my dang nameSet my heart aflame, every part aflameThis is not a game
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfiedI'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourselfYou're like me, I'm never satisfiedIs that right?I've never been satisfied
My name is Angelica SchuylerAlexander HamiltonWhere's your family from?Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done, butJust you wait, just you wait
So, so, soSo this is what it feels like to match with someone at your levelWhat the hell is the catch?It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the lightIt's Ben Franklin with a key and a kiteYou see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutesEverything we said in total agreementIt's a dream, and it's a bit of a danceA bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stanceHe's a bit of a flirt, but I'ma give it a chanceI asked about his family, did you see his answer?His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance?He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants
Handsome, boy, does he know it?Peach fuzz, and he can't even grow itI wanna take him far away from this placeThen I turn and see my sister's face, and she is
HelplessAnd I know she is (helpless)And her eyes are just (helpless)And I realize three fundamental truths at the exact same timeWhere are you taking me?I'm about to change your lifeThen by all means, lead the way
(Number one!)I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry richMy father has no sons, so I'm the one who has to social climb for oneSo I'm the oldest and the wittiestAnd the gossip in New York City is insidiousAnd Alexander is penniless, ha!That doesn't mean I want him any lessElizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet youSchuyler?My sister
(Number two!)He's after me 'cause I'm a Schuyler sister, that elevates his statusI'd have to be naive to set that asideMaybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza, now that's his brideNice going, Angelica, he was right, he will never be satisfiedThank you for all your serviceIf it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth itI'll leave you to it
(Number three!)I know my sister like I know my own mindYou will never find anyone as trusting or as kindIf I tell her that I love him, she'd be silently resignedHe'd be mineShe would say, "I'm fine," she'd be lying
But when I fantasize at night, it's Alexander's eyesAs I romanticize what might have beenIf I hadn't sized him up so quicklyAt least my dear Eliza's his wifeAt least I keep his eyes in my life
To the groom! (To the groom, to the groom, to the groom)To the bride! (To the bride, to the bride, to the bride)From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)Who's always by your side (by your side, by your side)To your union! (To the union, to the revolution!)And the hope that you provide (you provide, you provide)May you always (always)Be satisfied (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)She'll be happy as his bride (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)And I know (be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)He will never be satisfiedI will never be satisfied
