Letra da Música It’s Quiet Uptown Hamilton: An American Musical

There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginableThe moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
The Hamilton's move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginableI spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet beforeI take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen beforeIf you see him in the street
Walking by himself
Talking to himself, have pityPhilip, you would like it uptown
It's quiet uptownHe is working through the unimaginableHis hair has gone gray
He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the cityYou knock me out, I fall apartCan you imagine?Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
But hear me out, that would be enoughIf I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enoughI don't pretend to know
The challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
And you need timeBut I'm not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enoughIf you see him in the street
Walking by her side
Talking by her side, have pityEliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptownHe is trying to do the unimaginable
See them walking in the park, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the cityLook around, look around, ElizaThey are trying to do the unimaginableThere are moments that the words don't reach
There is a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginableThey are standing in the garden
Alexander by Eliza's side
She takes his handIt's quiet uptownForgiveness
Can you imagine?
Forgiveness
Can you imagine?If you see him in the street
Walking by her side
Talking by her side, have pity
They are going through the unimaginable
