A Map Of New York Lyrics - If/then: A New Musical - Idina Menzel

[Stephen:] 

Think of each plaza, pier, and public park 

How many sit there empty, lonely, dark 

Think of it, for tomorrow's sake 

Think of how you and I can make our mark 

You and I, 

we can draw a brand-new grid 

Everything that you dreamed of as a kid 

Give it a year, and go with me 

Soon enough, you'll say "Look what we two did" 

You've always had the right dream 

We've always made a tight team 

Now at last you're back, 

exactly where you ought to be 

So let's make a map of New York you and me

[New Yorker:] 

Twenty-two Reade, a building, sidewalk, shade 

[Another New Yorker:] 

Now a memory that for Beth will never fade 

[Beth:] 

And I could be planning city sites 

Where memories just like this one might be made 

[Writer:] 

Thirty-three Bond, 

where I wrote my first book 

[Chef:] 

Greenwich and Moore, 

where I learned how to cook 

[Young Woman:] 

The Center Street courts 

I intern there 

[Beth:] 

The joy of this job is everywhere I look 

[Messenger:] 

That market was my first job 

[Elena:] 

That diner was my worst job 

[Those Six:] 

And everywhere around me are these lives I left behind 

[Foreman:] 

The Tunnel where I laid rail 

[Realtor:] 

The co-op where I made my first sale 

[All Eight:] 

They make a map of New York in my mind 

[Anne:] 

Put a sticker on the map where you landed that first day 

[Kate:] 

Put a pin on the bridge 

[Lucas:] 

On the train 

[Anne:] 

On J.F.K 

[Beth:] 

On the street where I swore I'd afford a place some day 

[Kate, Anne, Lucas, & New Yorkers:] 

Ev'ry avenue and place, 

ev'ry building, ev'ry face 

Of the lovers and the friends, 

the beginnings and the ends 

Make a map of NYC, 

where I've been and who I'll be 

And you'll find me 

[Liz:] 

And you're feeling adrift, alone, apart 

Then suddenly life will somehow start 

And a map of New York is written on your heart 

[New Yorkers:] 

On your heart 

On your heart 

[Beth:] 

I'm too old for all that shit 

to be told I'm selling out 

Then again, all these years, 

did I lose what I'm about? 

On the street, in the cold, 

it's so hard to fight the doubt 

[Beth & New Yorkers:] 

Then you hear the tunnel hum 

With a train about to come 

And you surface to the street 

And you fall into the beat 

You can trace a line to me 

On that map of NYC 

Right where I should be 

[Stephen:] 

Think of how human life will ebb and flow 

[Stephen & Beth:] 

People, and how they'll come and how they'll go 

Remember the things we hoped and planned 

[Stephen:] 

Remember them, and believe them, and you'll know 

[Beth & Stephen:] 

We'll know 

[Beth, Stephen & New Yorkers:] 

We never walk a straight line 

We never check a street sign 

[Beth & Stephen:] 

But it's in the detour that we truly find our way 

[Stephen & New Yorkers:] 

We always know the way home 

[Beth & New Yorkers:] 

As long as we can stay here we're home 

[Beth:] 

And we make a map of work 

[New Yorkers:] 

Love and loss and life 

[Stephen:] 

And we make a map of play 

[New Yorkers:] 

We find our way 

[Stephen & New Yorkers:] 

And we make a map of New York ev'ry day 

[New Yorker:] 

Ending the night at 23rd and Third 

[Another New Yorker:] 

Liz and her date, 

who's hanging on each word
