Is That All There Is lyrics
"I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I ll never forget the look on my father s face as he gathered me up in his arms
and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
Is that all there is to a fire? "
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that s all there is, my friends,
Then let s keep dancing.
Let s break out the booze
And have a ball
If that s all there is.
"And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don t know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
Is that all there is to a circus? "
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that s all there is, my friends,
Then let s keep dancing.
Let s break out the booze
And have a ball
If that s all there is.
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other s eyes.
We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
And I thought I d die, but I didn t.
And when I didn t, I said to myself,
Is that all there is to love? "
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that s all there is, my friends,
Then let s keep dancing.
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
If that s the way she feels about it why doesn t she just end it all?
Oh, no. Not me. I m in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I m standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I m breathing my last breath,
I ll be saying to myself..."
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that s all there is, my friends,
Then let s keep dancing.
Let s break out the booze
And have a ball
If that s all there is.
