[00:01.96] |
I remember when I was a girl |
[00:06.61] |
Our house caught on fire |
[00:10.31] |
And I'll never forget the look on my father's face |
[00:13.91] |
As he gathered me in his arms |
[00:17.31] |
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement |
[00:24.24] |
And I stood there shivering |
[00:27.08] |
And watched the whole world go up in flames |
[00:32.19] |
And when it was all over, I said to myself |
[00:37.76] |
Is that all there is to a fire? Is that all there is? |
[00:47.57] |
Is that all there is? If that's all there is |
[00:56.12] |
My friends, then let's keep dancing |
[01:04.15] |
Let's break out the booze and have a ball |
[01:15.81] |
If that's all there is |
[01:28.75] |
And when I was twelve years old |
[01:31.59] |
My daddy took me to the circus |
[01:34.48] |
The greatest show on Earth |
[01:37.86] |
And there were clowns and elephants |
[01:41.10] |
Dancing bears and a beautiful lady |
[01:44.40] |
In pink tights flew high above our heads |
[01:49.32] |
And as I sat there watching |
[01:53.91] |
I had the feeling that something was missing |
[01:57.30] |
I don't know what but when it was all over |
[02:01.69] |
I said to myself, is that all there is to the circus? |
[02:08.88] |
Is that all there is? If that's all there is |
[02:21.58] |
My friends, then let's keep dancing |
[02:29.16] |
Let's break out the booze and have a ball |
[02:40.26] |
If that's all there is |
[02:52.31] |
And then I fell in love |
[02:55.04] |
With the most wonderful boy in the world |
[02:58.38] |
We'd take long walks down by the river |
[03:01.79] |
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes |
[03:06.25] |
We were so very much in love |
[03:12.27] |
And then one day he went away |
[03:15.95] |
And I'd thought I'd die but I didn't |
[03:21.10] |
And when I didn't, I said to myself |
[03:25.05] |
Is that all there is to love? |
[03:29.78] |
Is that all there is? If that's all there is |
[03:42.08] |
My friends, then let's keep |
[03:47.41] |
I know what you must be saying to yourselves |
[03:51.59] |
If that's the way she feels about it |
[03:54.33] |
Then why doesn't she just end it all |
[03:57.74] |
Oh no, not me, I'm not ready for the final disappointment |
[04:04.99] |
'Cause I know just as well |
[04:07.75] |
As I'm standing here talking to you |
[04:11.34] |
That when that final moment comes |
[04:14.01] |
And I'm breathing my last breath |
[04:17.01] |
I know what I'll be saying to myself |
[04:20.97] |
Is that all there is? |
[04:23.58] |
Is that all there is? If that's all there is |
[04:35.05] |
My friends, then let's keep dancing |
[04:42.31] |
Let's break out the booze and have a ball |
[04:52.98] |
If that's all there is |
