"I remember when I was a very little girl, |
[00:07.890] |
our house caught on fire. |
[00:11.100] |
I'll never forget the look |
[00:12.590] |
on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms |
[00:15.940] |
and raced through the burning building out onto the pavement. |
[00:20.730] |
I stood there shivering in my pajamas |
[00:23.610] |
and watched the whole world go up in flames. |
[00:27.230] |
And when it was all over I said to myself, |
[00:30.710] |
'Is that all there is to a fire?'" |
[00:35.940] |
Is that all there is? |
[00:40.810] |
Is that all there is? |
[00:45.260] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
[00:49.700] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
[00:53.770] |
Let's break out the booze |
[00:57.170] |
And have a ball |
[01:03.200] |
If that's all there is. |
[01:13.410] |
"And when I was 12 years old, |
[01:15.580] |
my father took me to the circus, |
[01:17.730] |
the greatest show on earth. |
[01:20.680] |
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears |
[01:25.410] |
and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. |
[01:31.350] |
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, |
[01:34.720] |
I had the feeling that something was missing. |
[01:37.380] |
I don't know what, but when it was all over |
[01:40.770] |
I said to myself, 'Is that all there is to a circus?'" |
[01:46.470] |
Is that all there is? |
[01:50.640] |
Is that all there is? |
[01:55.030] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
[01:59.380] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
[02:03.710] |
Let's break out the booze |
[02:07.060] |
And have a ball |
[02:13.010] |
If that's all there is. |
[02:23.160] |
"Then I fell in love, |
[02:25.320] |
head over heels in love with the most wonderful boy in the world. |
[02:30.660] |
We would take long walks by the river |
[02:32.210] |
or just sit for hours gazing gazing into each other's eyes. |
[02:37.120] |
We were so very much in love. |
[02:40.980] |
Then one day, he went away. |
[02:44.580] |
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't. |
[02:49.040] |
And when I didn't, I said to myself, |
[02:52.750] |
'Is that all there is to love?'" |
[02:56.360] |
Is that all there is? |
[03:00.320] |
Is that all there is? |
[03:04.750] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
[03:08.750] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
[03:12.500] |
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves. |
[03:14.970] |
'If that's the way she feels about it |
[03:17.720] |
why doesn't she just end it all?' |
[03:20.730] |
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment. |
[03:27.970] |
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, |
[03:32.740] |
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, |
[03:36.630] |
I'll be saying to myself..." |
[03:39.750] |
Is that all there is? |
[03:43.840] |
Is that all there is? |
[03:48.130] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
[03:53.050] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
[03:58.010] |
Let's break out the booze |
[04:00.260] |
And have a ball |
[04:06.510] |
If that's all there is. |
