Miranda, Lin-Manuel - That Would Be Enough Lyrics






[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 have told me

[Eliza:]
I wrote to the General a month ago

[Hamilton:]
No

[Eliza:]
I begged him to send you home

[Hamilton:]
You should have told me

[Eliza:]
I'm not sorry

[Eliza (Hamilton):]
I knew you'd fight until the war was won (The war's not done)
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 erasing and creating in your mind

But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
So 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
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

  1. A.... M....

    Riley if you see this in crying!

  2. H.... h....

    This duo always has me weak

  3. A.... ....

    The way Phillipia goes from this held low pitch voice into the loud beautiful sounding pitch is honestly astounding.

  4. T.... M....

    I’m watching this in the corner crying. Lol, I can’t even right now.

  5. E.... M....

    When Lin dresses nicer here than the White House

  6. L.... ....

    plot twist; that’s actually Eliza and Alexander Hamilton’s souls singing

  7. x.... y....

    this is gold

  8. h.... c....

    Pippa made Lin cry and frankly me too. Pip has the voice of an angel and I love it so much

  9. A.... ....

    wHo is cUtTiNg oNiOnS

  10. A.... ....

    Why is this masterpiece only *now* in my recommendations?

  11. M.... T....

    I’m not crying.. you are 😭😭😭

  12. l.... o....

    im crrying

  13. N.... 0....

    Where was this

  14. J.... C....

    0:25 Lin smiling then frowning is the cutest/funniest thing

  15. G.... w....

    This song gets more perfect ever time I here it

  16. D.... ....

    I’m coming back to this years later and I’m so happy that I still love hamilton

  17. G.... w....

    Lin has a song in in the heights called enough I'm sorry let me pause for a minute to cry this song is to beautiful

  18. D.... L....

    does anyone else just die at 0:11 when she puts her hand on her stomach? because, like, same.

  19. D.... a....

    Eliza: I know you’s fight ti’ll the war was won.

    Alexander: The wars not done.

    Eliza: But you deserve to meet your son.

    Alexander: The sons not done.






    I dunno if I made this up or I forgot reading the comment but yea.






    Sorry if I stole it...

  20. �.... m....

    I WISH I WAS THIER

  21. A.... T....

    Me at 2:52: *YEETS MYSELF ONTO THE FLOOR!*

  22. P.... A....

    Phillipa is a beautiful angel 😇 and a wonderful person

  23. B.... M....

    That was amazing! Loved it!

  24. K.... F....

    When you realize...

    They didn’t just play this at any orphanage...

    This is at Eliza’s orphanage in New York City.

    And she’s singing about being pregnant with her child and loving Alexander.

    And she lost them both in the end, in the same way.

    I’m crying, I am legitimately crying.

    And I found out that Lin cries real tears, every time he cries during Hamilton performances.

    How is he able to do that, yet still continue maintaining his composure and singing, my voice turns into a wobbly mess when I try to singing, while crying.

    These two are phenomenal! Great job!

  25. j.... ....

    WHY AREN'T THEY MARRIED!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

  26. K.... ....

    *The ending*


    WELL I DIDN'T NEED MY HEART ANYWAY

  27. H.... V....

    crying<3

  28. a.... ....

    I'm following along reading the lyrics as they sing, picturing Lin singing this to his wife that first time, and I wholesomely cannot contain my tears. The immense love he has for her is intimately encapsulated and transcends so wholeheartedly in this piece, and my goodness, it's just such a beautiful thing to witness.

  35. C.... B....

    *When you realize they sang this at an orphanage* TTT---TTT

  36. h.... i....

    every scene lin has with pippa, i bet he always had that face where he was staring at pippa at wlwdwtys

  37. S.... R....

  38. i.... ....

    That moment in the beginning when Lin looked up like “N O . ”

  39. K.... ....

    MY HEART CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE FEELS

    **hears an angel**
    **screams: PHILLIPA SOOOOOOOO**

  58. T.... G....

    Literally, the fact that Lin kissed Phillipa hand at the end was the last straw. It was 3 AM and I was holding back tears from other Hamilton videos, but THIS was the hardest hit. It's too much for my heart

  59. r.... j....

    Phillipa Soo has the voice of an angel....I'd die if I saw either of them in public...I can't wait to see Hamilton when it comes to my hometown

  60. R.... T....

    I’m sorry but y’all need to read the Description....

    I kinda wanna be president so I can get free Hamilton Performing

  62. G.... P....

    I love you Pippa you too Lin BUT I LOVE YOU PIPPPAAAAA

  63. M.... V....

    I must say, as a Brit, Phillipa Soo is the first American I've ever heard who I'd say is well-spoken. She really knows how to enunciate.

  64. A.... R....

    I love how Eliza's actor takes Miranda Lin's hand then he just looks at it and plays along perfectly.💘😭 He is such a nice person :) he is always nice to everyone. (not just because of that)

  78. �.... ....

    2:32 gets to me every. time. Just the way her voice beautifully hits the note and the piano in the back sounds amazing and she grabs Lins hand like so many emotions rush through me coz this song is just everything

  79. M.... L....

    **shrieks**
    **if lin wasnt married or pippa not married, i’d ship them too bad**

  81. n.... ....

    DAMN the women in this show get me. I freaking love them

  82. C.... P....

  84. M.... c....

    Nobody signed me up for this feels trip😭

  85. I.... M....

    Phillipa is an angle

  86. J.... V....

    If I ever got the chance to play as Eliza in Hamilton, I would take the wonderful chance to make this song more emotional by taking Alexander’s hand and placing it on my stomach when I sing “if this child shares a fraction of your smile”. Because I’m a sadist when it comes to acting.

  87. e.... !....

    My diamond pippa

  88. E.... G....

    this song gets me everytime! Just perfect.

  89. K.... Y....
