Is That All There Is? Lyrics

[00:03.06] I remember when I was a little girl
[00:05.63] Our house caught on fire
[00:08.34] I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he
[00:11.05] Gathered me up in his arms and
[00:13.30] Faced through the burning building out on the pavement
[00:16.32] And I stood there
[00:18.75] Shivering in my pajamas and
[00:20.41] WAtched the whole world go up in flames
[00:23.64] And when it was all over
[00:25.53] I said to myself
[00:27.57] Is that all there is to a fire?
[00:33.12] Is that all there is
[00:37.23] Is that all there is?
[00:42.22] If that's all there is my friends
[00:46.54] Then let's keep dancing
[00:51.21] Let's break out the booze and have a ball
[00:59.94] If that's all there is
[01:10.68] And when I was twelve years old
[01:13.71] My daddy took me to the circus
[01:15.78] The greatest show on Earth
[01:17.78] There were clowns and elephants, dancing bears
[01:21.66] And a beautiful lady in pink
[01:23.65] Tights flew high above our heads
[01:29.30] And as I sat there watching
[01:32.74] I had the feeling that something was missing
[01:35.41] I don't know what, but
[01:37.19] When it was over
[01:38.45] I said to myself
[01:41.62] Is that all there is to the circus?
[01:45.72] Is that all there is
[01:49.34] Is that all there is?
[01:52.79] If that's all there is my friends
[01:57.94] Then let's keep dancing
[02:01.89] Let's break out the booze and have a ball
[02:10.44] If that's all there is
[02:21.65] And then I fell in love
[02:24.20] With the most wonderful boy in the world
[02:27.89] We'd take long walks by the river or
[02:32.56] Just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
[02:35.55] We were so very much in love
[02:39.42] Then one day
[02:41.33] He went away
[02:43.16] And I thought I'd die, but I didn't
[02:47.66] And when I didn't
[02:49.85] I said to myself
[02:51.81] Is that all there is to love?
[02:54.96] Is that all there is
[02:57.51] Is that all there is?
[03:01.60] If that's all there is, my friends
[03:06.26] Then let's keep
[03:09.68] I know what you must be saying to yourselves
[03:12.07] If that's the way she feels about it
[03:14.72] Why doesn't she just end it all?
[03:17.03] Oh, no, not me
[03:20.18] I'm not ready for that final disappointment
[03:23.26] Because I know
[03:25.55] Just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
[03:29.27] That when that final moment comes
[03:30.11] And I'm breathing my last breat
[03:32.87] I'll be saying to myself
[03:36.49] Is that all there is
[03:40.37] Is that all there is?
[03:44.65] If that's all there is my friend
[03:48.64] Then let's keep dancing
[03:53.44] Let's break out the booze and have a ball
[04:02.00] If that's all there is
[04:12.49]
