Track 12: The war ends, her husband dies, they marry. Domestic bliss. He adopts her children.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.
It’s a new day.
The British are gone! The treaty is signed!
We left the darkness and chaos behind!
The waiting is over, the patience paid off!
I laugh at the cynics, I smile at the scoff!
Albany, New York! The summer is green!
I’m marrying the woman, the intellectual queen!
She’s a widow no more! She’s a bride in the sun!
The life that we dreamed of has finally begun!
1782!
Look what love can do!
We made it through the fire!
We made it through the rain!
We’re trading in the sorrow!
We’re trading in the pain!
1782!
I do! I do! I do!
I take her five children, I make them my own!
I promise a father who won't be unknown!
I promise to teach them, to raise them up right!
To fill up this house with laughter and light!
Hamilton’s busy with politics and strife?
I’m busy building a beautiful life!
The practice is booming, the money is good!
We’re the happiest couple in the neighborhood!
They said it wouldn't last!
They said she was too old!
They said I was too young!
But look at us now!
We are solid gold!
1782!
Look what love can do!
We made it through the fire!
We made it through the rain!
We’re trading in the sorrow!
We’re trading in the pain!
1782!
I do! I do! I do!

Mrs. Burr.
Finally.
