The Story of Tonight Songtext
von Anthony Ramos, Okieriete Onaodowan, Daveed Diggs, Lin‐Manuel Miranda & Leslie Odom Jr.

I may not live to see our glory
I may not live to see our glory
But I′ve seen wonders great and small
I've seen wonders great and small
′Cause if the tomcat can get married
If Alexander can get married
There's hope for our ass after all
Raise a glass to freedom
Hey! Something you will never see again
No matter what she tells you
Let's have another round tonight
Raise a glass to the four of us
To the newly not poor of us
We′ll tell the story of tonight
Let′s have another round
Well, if it isn't Aaron Burr
Sir!
I didn′t think that you would make it
To be sure
Uh


I came to say congratulations
Spit a verse, Burr
I see the whole gang is here
You are the worst, Burr
Ignore them
Congrats to you, Lieutenant Colonel
I wish I had your command
Instead of manning George's journal
No you don′t
Yes I do
Now be sensible
From what I hear
You've made yourself indispensable
Well! Well, I heard
You′ve got a special someone on the side, Burr
Is that so?
What are you trying to hide, Burr?
I should go
No, these guys should go!
What?
No!
Leave us alone
Man!
It's alright, Burr
I wish you brought this girl with you tonight, Burr
You're very kind, but I′m afraid it′s unlawful, sir
What do you mean?
She's married
I see
She′s married to a British officer
Oh shit
Congrats again, Alexander
Smile more
I'll see you on the other side of the war
I will never understand you
If you love this woman, go get her
What are you waiting for?
I′ll see you on the other side of the war
I'll see you on the other side of the war
