Lin-Manuel Miranda - Dear Theodosia (Reprise) Lyrics






[Burr:]
Dear Theodosia, how to say to you
Sometime last night, your mother breathed your name
And like a flame that flickers out too soon, she died
She's gone

She dedicated every day to you
She changed my life, she made my life worthwhile
And when you smile
I know a part of her lives on
I know I can go on

You have come of age with our young nation
We bleed and fight for you
Sometimes it seems that's all we do
And you and I will build a strong foundation
And I'll be here for you
The way is clear for you to blow us all away

Someday, someday, yeah you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday...

    I’m very sorry for your loss Burr. If I lost Eliza like that, I wouldn’t be able to live. I would be a single father, and I would be broken inside. I send you good prayers...

  8. N.... S....

  9. Y.... S....

    when i found this i was like oh no

  10. W.... A....

    “She changed my life, she made my life worth while.”


    That part really hits me in the feels 😭😭😭

  11. M.... L....

    Aaron Burr: shes gone- *sobbs and voice cracks*

    Me: *sobbs for the entire video*

  12. A.... b....

    Dude it’s him that makes it sad not the song that gets me

  13. J.... G....

    Someone mentioned there was a reprise of Dear Theodosia...
    Long story short: I came, I saw, I cried.

    J.... G....

    then died inside

  14. L.... P....

    I started crying when I saw this 😭

  15. I.... O....

    When burr broke down I broke down

  16. S.... L....

    As someone who’s also had to deal with the death of a parent (though it was actually my father rather than my mother), this song makes me cry like you would not believe. R.I.P. Daddy, I love you ❤️😢

  17. J.... M....

    Burr has always been the person I’d favor in the musical he had a shitty life but pressed on tbh I strive to be like him not to shoot Hamilton but burr had a lot of reason to. 😞

  18. K.... U....

    Fuck you mason why you gotta make me cry by sending me thus

  19. �.... -....

    :((((( * Sad crying noises *

  20. E.... _....

    I’m sitting with my face done and omg this almost made me cry-

  21. I.... W....

    I thought I was ready to move away from Hamilton




    Telling by me being here I have failed

  22. T.... ....

    I really love this animatic
    I always find myself coming back to it
    I really love how Burr is trying to
    Be strong for his daughter
    But he just can’t because he loved her so much
    The emotions in this are so clear and
    It’s really beautiful

  23. S.... N....

    Me: your not gonna cry this time . . .
    Burr : Dear Theo-
    Me: *cries harder than the Rock*

  24. D.... L....

    It’s sadder in the middle he’s hugging Theodosia and he looks at his hand at his wedding ring and starts crying even more that just so sad

  25. S.... K....

    My last name is Teodósio ( you probably already saw it ), it looks a lot like the name Theodosia , and that scares me, so I cry more than usual when I listen to this song, I’m really close to my family( I know this sounds pretty dumb, but ok);-;

  26. F.... T....

    My friend plays this to try and make me cry because I guess he just wants to see me cry but seriously I’m bouta

  27. G.... M....

    Everything hurts more when I hear this

  28. D.... L....

    I just realized why we remember Alexander he did some messed up stuff kinda

    1. he cheated on his wife
    2.payed the husbando not to tell Eliza
    3.ruined Aaron burrs life when he didn’t deserve it

    Honestly why?

  29. L.... M....

    No one:
    My youtube recommendations: hey how about crying today?

  30. E.... G....

    i l o v e c r y i n g

  31. H.... H....

    me: *watching this and crying*
    fbi agent: bro wtf u crying
    fbi agent: *watches video*
    fbi agent:
    fbi agent:
    fbi agent: ME TOO-

  32. �.... �....

    Это прекрасно😭😭😭

  33. T.... T....

    Somehow this reminded me of my best friend and I started crying

  34. N.... D....

    This is so sad and heartbreaking 😭😭 but the art was amazing!

  35. e.... 7....

    Hi um there´s sth I don´t understand because the slime tutorial I watched wasn´t the full musical so, does Theodisa (mother) divorces her husband for being with Burr or what? thx owo

  36. S.... B....

    I totally didn’t start bawling my eyes out literally not five seconds in...

  37. A.... I....

    You know is a big difference between Burr and Hamilton and that is:
    - Burr thinks a lot of consequences because he wanted to protect his daughter, but Hamilton didn't think about consequences he just do he thinks his right sacrifice his family, his friends and his honour.
    Burr lose everything in his life from beginning but all he wanted was to protect the only person he loved how he knew.

    And maybe this is a lesson for everyone: even some people in history will be knows as villains or something similar if you don't know all part of story you couldn't find a good conclusion. All we star the same: kind, naive and have a pure heart. But some events in our lives makes us to change our mind or sometimes our heart.

  38. L.... G....

    I've never heard this song before. And I always cried when I heard Stay Alive Reprise, but this... damn... it hit me hard...

  39. t.... p....

    Quisiera que mi padre fuera burr 😔👊

  40. G.... R....

    I want to hate Burr because of what he did but he basically lost everyone who loved him so he was alone for years, and when he cried in this, I just couldn't help but feel bad for him. Seeing him break down makes me wanna cry ;-;

  41. b.... l....

    BURR YOU SWEET CINNAMON ROLLL

  42. A.... S....

    I'm not crying
    It's sweat
    Because I was trying so hard not to cry

  43. G.... W....

    This gets worse when you realize his daughter dies too

  44. I.... 1....

    This hurt my soul

  45. B.... A....

    Burr may have done every mistake, but he kept his promise to his daughter and that was all that mattered to him in the end.
    Excuse me while I cry

  46. B.... Q....

    What song number is this

  47. l.... b....

    Let me make your day worse, Burr outlived his daughter.

  48. P.... M....

    Damn when I cry sing I sound like a *rat*

  49. C.... ....

    :C


    *S T O P*

  50. O.... W....

    Przepłakałam cały dzień w szkole :'(






    A nikt nie wiedział o co mi chodzi :''')

  51. I.... B....

    https://youtu.be/c7EyOy0-Of0

  52. L.... L....

    "We bleed and fight for you
    Sometimes it seems that's all we do"
    That really hit. Burr just wanted the fighting and blood to stop. He wanted to stop losing people. Like all his life was just that. Jesus this song hurts😥

  53. m.... p....

    I cried cuz yes

  54. �.... �....

    NOBODY TOLD ME THIS WAS A THING I FEEL LEFT OUT. :,(

  55. S.... ....

    Dear Theodosia, what to say to you...
    Though you were grown, oh how can I atone?
    You were alone upon a ship, that storm took you from me...
    I’m dedicating every day to you.
    My every thought, I think of you awhile.
    I see your smile....
    Your memory, it still lives on.
    For you, I will go on.

    You have come of age with our young nation.
    I bled and fought for you.
    And I was always proud to do so.
    You and I have laid a strong foundation.
    I’ll pass it on for you.
    I give my *word* to you. And they’ll blow us all away.
    Someday, someday.
    Yeah, they’ll blow us all away.
    Someday, someday....

  56. A.... R....

    *Cry's and slowly dies*

  57. C.... T....

    NOOOOOO

  58. T.... S....

    As someone with a mother who has been... deceased for several years now, this song makes me break down far more than any other song I've ever heard. It's haunting how much Burr's singing reminds me of the night my dad broke the news to me, and the way he breaks down feels startlingly real, and I must say that due to how raw and emotional this song is, It is easily one of my favorite songs from Hamilton (go ahead and fight me with the 'it didn't make the album' argument but I don't care).

  59. T.... ....

    This makes the song so much more emotional, IT ALMOST MADE ME FRIKEN CRY! 😭

  60. D.... A....

    This is why I have a love/hate relationship with Alexander, mostly hate, I mean I like Hamilton, but in the lyrics. . . . He was a bastard indeed...

  61. E.... B....

    I started crying as soon as this started. And cried harder every time his voice broke into sobs.

  62. E.... C....

    Hamilton cheated on his wife
    Burr waited for his wife who was already married
    Hamilton didn’t stop his son from dueling
    Burr dueled for his daughter
    Hamilton got a whole play
    Burr got to be the villain in it
    Hamilton’s story got told
    But that’s the only way they remember Burr

  63. H.... G....

    And then Baby Theodosia died at 29, lost at sea. More than 20 years before Aaron. Too bad.

  64. A.... H....

    Yeah Burr was selfish for shooting Hamilton even if Theodosia was 21 and married but, we have to remember that he lost everything he loved and cared about.

  65. B.... V....

    vote like dear theodosia comment stay alive reprise i like both of it

  66. A.... l....

    Why did I cry

  67. m.... p....

    oh darn it i’m in a pool of my tears again

  68. g.... a....

  69. S.... R....

    I wish the deleted songs were on iTunes to buy how did you get this?

  70. A.... �....

    *Welcome fellow watcher!*
    This is where all the Burr fans live. Feel free to enjoy, but no hate!
    We love Aaron here alright he needs sympathy 😊💖

    Burr is my favorite person in Hamilton so seeing him sad makes me sad ;-;

  94. A.... B....

    You would NOT believe how many times I've thought about this song randomly and my friends would be like: aaahhh you okay my little cinnabon?

  95. Y.... t....

    Now just imagine if Leslie named his current daughter Theodosia in honor of his characters wife and daughter?! I would've screamed the minute that happened.

  96. H.... P....

    WHY AM I LAUGHING DAMMIT

  97. A.... ....

    But then you remember Burr was tried for Treason because he attempted to make the North secede from the Union by making a coalition with some others who would all simultaneously run for office in Northern states. Then you remember after that he tried to take control of Mexico. Burr is a nut job y’all.

  98. A.... R....

  99. I.... L....

    This is really really touching I almost cried

  100. P.... T....

    That WAS NOT okay. I cried to much to be human. Help.
