Broadway production (2014) If/Then the Musical - A Map of New York Lyrics
(performs Idina Menzel & Jerry Dixon - A Map of New York Lyrics)
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 you dreamed of as a kid Give it a year and go with me Soon enough you will 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
Twenty-two Reed A building, sidewalk shade Now a memory that for Beth will never fade And I could be planning city sites Where memories just like this one might be made
Thirty-three Bond where I wrote my first book Greenwich and Moore where I learned how to cook The Center Street courts, I interned there The joy of this job is everywhere I look
That market was my first job That diner was my worst job And everywhere around me are these lives I left behind
The tunnel where I laid (?) The co-op where I made my first sale They make a map of New York in my mind
Put a sticker on the map where you landed that first day Put a pin on the (?), on the bridge, on the train, on JFK On the street where I swore I'd afford a place someday
Every avenue and place Every building every face Of the lovers and the friends The beginnings and the ends Make a map of NYC Where I live and who I'll be And you'll find me
And you're feeling adrift, alone, apart And suddenly life will somehow start And a map of New York is written on your heart
I'm too old for all that shit You'll 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 that doubt
Then you hear the tunnel hum With the train about to come And you surface to the street Where you fall into the beat You can trace the line to me On a map of NYC Right where I should be
Think of how human life will ebb and flow People, and how they'll come and how they'll go Remember the things we hoped and planned Remember them and believe them And you'll know You'll know
We never walk a straight line We never trust a street sign But it's in the detour that we truly find our way We always know the way home As long as we can stay here we're home
And we make a map of work And we make a map of play And we make a map of New York every day
Ending the night and Twenty-Third and Third Liz and her date who's hanging on each word
