Always Starting Over - If/Then (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[ariegrayson]

If you're always starting over then you should just let it go and defy gravity, because it's your turn to be brave. 

[lyndseawillis]

The song is amazing here too, but she SLAYED this song live. She is absolute perfection.

[TheZeitergeist]

2:56-4:30 In my humble opinion, one of the best choruses of a musical theatre song ever. EVER.

[jeepinboy]

really didn't know the caliber Idina Menzel is until I saw this show just last weekend.  Now i am a forever fan. This song gives ya chicken skin live. She is unreal.

In my life I never thought I'd get a second chance
I thought I was done – then I met you
And though I never dreamed I could learn how to love again
I placed my bet
And you came through
I somehow still lost
I somehow always do
This time feels new

Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
And fuck you for making me think that this life might be fair
You promised to love me,
a promise you kept
And I won't be sorry that you said to leap and I leaped
I won't regret
What I did then
Though it hurts more than I could imagine back when
All the same, even so
I would love you all over again

Am I always
Starting over?
In a brand new story
Am I always
Back at one
After all I've done?
‘Cause I've burned all of my bridges
And learned every last lesson too
So how can I start new?

I’ll love our children,
both fiercely and well
When they ask about you,
oh lordy, the stories I’ll tell
And I won't regret the lives I didn't lead
I knew you, I loved you,
and let that be all that I need
Say that it’s fate
Say it’s foretold
I'm through with fighting it
I'm much too old
What the gods have to give
I’ll take, and I’ll live, and be bold

If we’re always
Starting over
Every brand-new morning
Then we’re always
Starting out
With the end in doubt
We can leave life for tomorrow
Or grieve all that we thought we’d do
Or make each moment new

All that has happened is happening now
All that might happen is here, somehow
All of the choices that made me, me
All of the accidents yet to be
All that's ahead
And all that's behind
It’s all in the moment
I make up my mind
And open my heart
And start
And start

‘Cause we’re always
Starting over
Every life we’re living
And we’re always
Just awake
Every step we take
And my love, our life is over
But love, I’ll make you one last vow
To start over
And over
And over somehow
My new life starts right now!

Her voice is just so amazing. And this song, it's just the perfect combination! If I can ever be half the singer she is, ill be happy

[chrisshoemaker]

I saw If/Then 4 times and the first time I saw it I knew this was going to be a hit but when Idina sang this song she brought the whole house down. I remember being in tears when she sang this number. I have tickets to see her at PNC Bank Arts Center in July and I am really really hoping she sings this

[katiejane]

This is officially my favourite song ever. Idina has sang this so well, with such emotion like she does with every song! To be honest anything Idina sings is my favourite. <3 :-) xxxx

[oakleyhso]

Saw this in person. Absolutely amazing.

[terrencelamar]

saw Idina live in this at the Pantages and she slayed my entire existence.

[MyChewbacca]

SO glad I ordered this recording - it is just so beautiful!

[jerryboulger]

[kylerutherford]

[kkstar]

Mia fine im with you i live too far away from NYC so I cant go see it either. But I did learn this song and I LOVE IT ONE OF MY TOP 3 favorite songs preformed by Idina Menzel, along with No Good Deed and Let It Go!

[miafine]

I really like this song! Wish I could see the show!

[isabelletimoteo]

I was wondering why so many of the songs in this musical remind me of Next to Normal... and then I realized it’s the same writers
