[Angelica]
May you always

[Men And Hamilton]

[Angelica]
Be satisfied
Rewind

[Angelica]
I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days

I remember those soldier boys
Tripping over themselves to win our praise

I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream that you can t quite place

But Alexander, I ll never forget the first
Time I saw your face

I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said Hi, I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev ry part aflame

[Full Company]
This is not a game

[Hamilton]
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied

[Angelica]
I m sure I don t know what you mean
You forget yourself

[Hamilton]
You re like me. I m never satisfied

[Angelica]
Is that right?

[Hamilton]
I have never been satisfied

[Angelica]
My name is Angelica Schuyler

[Hamilton]
Alexander Hamilton

[Angelica]
Where s your fam ly from?

[Hamilton]
Unimportant. There s a million things I haven t done but
Just you wait, just you wait

[Angelica]
So so so
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level!
What the hell is the catch? It s
The feeling of freedom, of seein the light
It s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite!
You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Ev rything we said in total agreement, it s
A dream and it s a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it s a bit of a stance. He s a
Bit of a flirt, but I m a give it a chance
I asked about his fam ly, 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 it!
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I turn and see my sister s face and she is

[Eliza]
Helpless

[Angelica]
And I know she is

[Eliza]
Helpless

[Angelica]
And her eyes are just

[Eliza]
Helpless

[Angelica]
And I realize

[Angelica And Company]
Three fundamental truths
at the exact same time

[Hamilton]
Where are you taking me?

[Angelica]
I m about to change your life

[Hamilton]
Then by all means, lead the way

[Company (Except Angelica) ]
Number one!

[Angelica]
I m a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I m the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I m the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha! That doesn t mean I want him any less

[Eliza]
Elizabeth Schuyler. It s a pleasure to meet you

[Hamilton]
Schuyler?

[Angelica]
My sister

[Company]
Number two!

[Angelica]
He s after me cuz I m a Schuyler sister
That elevates his status, I d
Have to be naïve to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza
Now that s his bride
Nice going, Angelica, he was right
You will never be satisfied

[Eliza]
Thank you for all your service

[Hamilton]
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet
it will have been worth it

[Angelica]
I ll leave you to it

[Company]
Number three!

[Angelica]
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone
as trusting or as kind
If I tell her that I love him
she d be silently resigned
He d be mine
She would say, I m fine

[Angelica And Company]
She d be lying

[Angelica]
But when I fantasize at night
It s Alexander s eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn t sized him
Up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza s his wife
At least I keep his eyes in my life

[Angelica]
To the groom!

[Men And Women]
To the groom!
To the groom!
To the groom!

[Angelica]
To the bride!

[Men And Women]
To the bride!
To the bride!
To the bride!

[Angelica]
From your sister

[Men And Women]
Angelica

[Angelica]
Who is always by your side

[Men And Women]

[Women]
To the union!

[Men]
To the revolution!

[Angelica]
And the hope that you provide

[Men And Women]
You provide
You provide

[Angelica]
May you always

[Men And Hamilton]
Always

[Angelica]
Be satisfied
And I know
She ll be happy as his bride
And I know
