Is that all there is?

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 lst 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
