Is That All There Lyrics

song lyrics 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. song lyrics
