[00:01.15]”I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
[00:10.83]I’ll never forget the look on my father’s face as he gathered me up in his arms
[00:15.79]And raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
[00:19.69]I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
[00:26.59]And when it was all over I said to myself,
[00:30.26]’Is that all there is to a fire?'”
[00:34.66]Is that all there is?
[00:38.13]Is that all there is?
[00:43.74]If that’s all there is, my friends,
[00:46.94]Then let’s keep dancing.
[00:48.22]Let’s break out the booze
[00:56.77]And have a ball
[01:02.28]If that’s all there is.
[01:11.10]”And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
[01:19.74]There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
[01:29.90]And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, I had the feeling that something was missing.
[01:36.77]I don’t know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
[01:42.06]’Is that all there is to a circus?'”
[01:45.77]Is that all there is?
[01:49.47]Is that all there is?
[01:54.33]If that’s all there is, my friends,
[01:58.00]Then let’s keep dancing.
[02:02.83]Let’s break out the booze
[02:06.00]And have a ball
[02:12.02]If that’s all there is.
[02:20.63]”Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
[02:29.24]We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other’s eyes.
[02:36.74]We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
[02:43.91]And I thought I’d die, but I didn’t.
[02:48.36]And when I didn’t, I said to myself,
[02:51.98]’Is that all there is to love?'”
[02:55.86]Is that all there is?
[02:58.89]Is that all there is?
[03:04.27]If that’s all there is, my friends,
[03:07.85]Then let’s keep dancing.
[03:13.58]”I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
[03:15.24]’If that’s the way she feels about it why doesn’t she just end it all?’
[03:19.52]Oh, no. Not me. I’m in no hurry for that final disappointment.
[03:25.92]For I know just as well as I’m standing here talking to you,
[03:31.18]When that final moment comes and I’m breathing my last breath,
[03:35.77]I’ll be saying to myself…”
[03:38.44]Is that all there is?
[03:42.16]Is that all there is?
[03:47.95]If that’s all there is, my friends,
[03:51.54]Then let’s keep dancing.
[03:56.70]Let’s break out the booze
[03:59.56]And have a ball
[04:04.01]If that’s all there is.
