That Would Be Enough

[ELIZA]

Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now. Look around, look around...

[HAMILTON]

How long have you known?

[ELIZA]

A month or so.

[HAMILTON]

Eliza, you should've told me.

[ELIZA]

I wrote to the General a month ago.

[HAMILTON]

No.

[ELIZA]

I begged them to send you home.

[HAMILTON]

You should've told me.

[ELIZA]

I'm not sorry! You knew you'd fight until the war was won.

[HAMILTON]

War's not done.

[ELIZA]

But you deserve a chance to meet your son. Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.

[HAMILTON]

Will you relish being a poor man's wife? Unable to provide for your life?

[ELIZA]

I relish being your wife. Look around, look around. Look at where you are. Look at where you started. The fact that you're alive is a miracle. Just stay alive, that would be enough.

And if this child shares a fraction of your smile, or a fragment of your mind, look out world! That would be enough. I don't pretend to know the challenges you're facing. The worlds you keep replacing and creating in your mind. I'm not afraid. I know who I married. So, as long as you come home at the end of the day, that would be enough.

We don't need a legacy. We don't need money. If I could grant you peace of mind, that would be enough. If you could let me inside your heart! Oh, let me be a part of the narrative, in the story they will write someday. Let this moment be the first chapter, where you decide to stay...

And I could be enough.

And we could be enough.

That would be enough.
