A toast to the groom
To the bride
From your sister
Who is always
by your side
To your union
And the hope
that you provide
May you always
Be satisfied
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
every part aflame
You strike me
as a woman who
has never been satisfied
I'm sure I don't know
what you mean
You forget yourself
You're like me
I'm never satisfied
Is that right
I've never
been satisfied
My name is
Angelica Schuyler
Alexander Hamilton
Where's your
fam'ly from
Unimportant
There's a million
things I haven't done but
Just you wait
just you wait
So so so so this is what it
feels like to match wits
With someone at your
level what the hell
is the catch
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
Everything we said
in total agreement
A dream and it's
a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture
it's a bit of a stance
A bit of a flirt
but I'mma 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
Helpless
And I know she is
Helpless
And her eyes are just
Helpless
And I realise
Three fundamental truths
at the exact same time
Where are you
taking me
I'm about to
change your life
Then by all means
lead the way
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
Elizabeth Schuyler
It's a pleasure
to meet you
Schuyler
My sister
He's after me 'cause
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
Thank you for
all your service
If it takes fighting
a war for us to meet
it will have
been worth it
I'll leave you to it
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
She'd be lying
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
To the groom
To the bride
From your sister
Who is always
by your side
To your union
And the hope that
you provide
May you always
Be satisfied
And I know
She'll be happy as
His bride
And I know
He will never
be satisfied
I will never
be satisfied
