Lyrics of It's Quiet Uptown by Lin-Manuel Miranda,Renée Elise Goldsberry,Phillipa Soo,Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton feat. Renee Elise Goldsberry,Phillipa Soo feat. Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton
verse
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 unimaginable
verse
The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
The Hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
verse
I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
verse
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before
chorus
If you see him in the street
Walking by himself
Talking to himself
Have pity
verse
Phillip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown
verse
He is working through the unimaginable
His hair has gone gray
He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city
verse
You knock me out, I fall apart
verse
Can you imagine?
verse
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 enough
verse
If 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 enough
verse
I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
And you need time
verse
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough
chorus
If you see him in the street
Walking by her side
Talking by her side
Have pity
verse
Eliza, do you like it uptown
It's quiet uptown
verse
He is trying to do the unimaginable
See them walking in the park, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city
verse
Look around, look around, Eliza
verse
They are trying to do the unimaginable
verse
There 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 unimaginable
verse
They are standing in the garden
Alexander by Eliza's side
She takes his hand
verse
It's quiet uptown
verse
Forgiveness
Can you imagine?
Forgiveness
Can you imagine?
chorus
If you see him in the street
Walking by her side
Talking by her side
Have pity
outro
They are going through the unimaginable
Writer(s): Lin-manuel Miranda
