Lyics:
When I was a little girl, my house caught on fire
And I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced me out of the burning building onto the pavement
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go ny
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 friend, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then one day, my daddy took me to see a circus,
The Greatest Show on Earth
There were clowns and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching I couldn't help but think there's something missing
And 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 friend, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then one day I fell in love with the most wonderful girl in the world
We would take long walks by the river or just sit there gazing into each other's eyes
We were very much in love
Then one day she 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 friend, then let's keep...
I know what you must be thinking, you're thinking
If that's the way she feels about it then why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment
Casue I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to all of you tonight
That when the final moment comes and I'm breathing my first breath,
I'm going to be saying to myself
Is that all there is, is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is.
