A Bronx Tale (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
These Streets
When did it happen?
How did I lose you?
Why did I stand there
And let that man use you?
I won't watch it happen
Son, I refuse to
I was there on the morning
You first saw the light
I carried you on my shoulders
Tucked you into bed every night
Taught you how to play ball
And watched you grow tall
I still got it all inside
And no matter the cost
I won't let that be lost
Son, these streets won't take you away from me
No, these streets won't break up this family
No how
I won't lose you now
Not to these streets
What was I gonna do, Dad?
Run away?
Make him think I got no heart?
No heart?
On these streets you mean nothing
Trust me, they don't care
You don't know Sonny!
I know how he thinks
Mess up once, watch what happens
They'll leave you bleeding somewhere
You're wrong, Sonny trusts me!
There's no honor, no trust
They do what they must
They kill if it's justified
They'll make you a pawn in their war
Come on, Dad
You were made for much more
Yeah? What was I meant for?
I don't you to have to look over your shoulder all the time
Or owe anybody anything
I want you to have a better life than that!
Like yours?
We got no car
No money
We got nothing!
You gotta look to your heart
Calogero
Wait, what am I going to be?
A bus driver like you?
Don't you get trapped here, be smart
Sonny's right
Calogero
Working man is a sucker
Calogero
He's a sucker!
These streets
They'll take you away from me
'Cause these streets
They'll break you eventually
You'll lose
So wise up and choose
Remember the promise you made
Calogero
Don't let your life be misled
You promised me
Promise me
Look to your heart
(Woah, woah)
Roll and see
Lorenzo!
Calogero!
Hey C, come out, I need you to throw my dice
Remember the promise you made
Come on and come with me
Calogero!
C, come on, I need you
Son, look to your heart
How did I lose you?
Why did I stand there
And let that man use you?
I won't watch it happen
Son, I refuse to
I was there on the morning
You first saw the light
I carried you on my shoulders
Tucked you into bed every night
Taught you how to play ball
And watched you grow tall
I still got it all inside
And no matter the cost
