Is That All There Is Song 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 onto the pavement

And 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?"

[Chorus]

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 daddy took me to the circus,

The greatest show on earth

There were clowns and elephants, dancing bears

And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads

As I sat there watching

I had the feeling that something was missing

I don't know what

When it was all over I said to myself

"Is that all there is to the circus?"

[Chorus]

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 then I fell in love

With the most wonderful boy in the world

We'd take long walks down 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...

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 not ready for that final disappointment

Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you

And when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,

I'll be saying to myself

[Chorus]

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
