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 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. |
