Best of Wives and Best of Women Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Phillipa Soo

Hamilton: An American Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[ELIZA]
Alexander, come back to sleep
[HAMILTON]
I have an early meeting out of town
[ELIZA]
It’s still dark outside
[HAMILTON]
I know. I just need to write something down
[ELIZA]
Why do you write like you’re running out of time?
[HAMILTON]
Shhh
[ELIZA]
Come back to bed. That would be enough
[HAMILTON]
I’ll be back before you know I’m gone
[ELIZA]
Come back to sleep
[HAMILTON]
This meeting’s at dawn
[ELIZA]
Well, I’m going back to sleep
[HAMILTON]
Hey. Best of wives and best of women
