[00:04.01]"I remember when I was a very little girl,
[00:07.89]our house caught on fire.
[00:11.10]I'll never forget the look
[00:12.59]on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
[00:15.94]and raced through the burning building out onto the pavement.
[00:20.73]I stood there shivering in my pajamas
[00:23.61]and watched the whole world go up in flames.
[00:27.23]And when it was all over I said to myself,
[00:30.71]'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
[00:34.87]
[00:35.94]Is that all there is?
[00:38.22]
[00:40.81]Is that all there is?
[00:45.26]If that's all there is, my friends,
[00:49.70]Then let's keep dancing.
[00:53.77]Let's break out the booze
[00:57.17]And have a ball
[01:03.20]If that's all there is.
[01:10.97]
[01:13.41]"And when I was 12 years old,
[01:15.58]my father took me to the circus,
[01:17.73]the greatest show on earth.
[01:20.68]There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
[01:25.41]and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
[01:31.35]And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle,
[01:34.72]I had the feeling that something was missing.
[01:37.38]I don't know what, but when it was all over
[01:40.77]I said to myself, 'Is that all there is to a circus?'"
[01:45.62]
[01:46.47]Is that all there is?
[01:50.64]Is that all there is?
[01:55.03]If that's all there is, my friends,
[01:59.38]Then let's keep dancing.
[02:03.71]Let's break out the booze
[02:07.06]And have a ball
[02:13.01]If that's all there is.
[02:20.19]
[02:23.16]"Then I fell in love,
[02:25.32]head over heels in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
[02:30.66]We would take long walks by the river
[02:32.21]or just sit for hours gazing gazing into each other's eyes.
[02:37.12]We were so very much in love.
[02:40.98]Then one day, he went away.
[02:44.58]And I thought I'd die, but I didn't.
[02:49.04]And when I didn't, I said to myself,
[02:52.75]'Is that all there is to love?'"
[02:55.99]
[02:56.36]Is that all there is?
[03:00.32]Is that all there is?
[03:04.75]If that's all there is, my friends,
[03:08.75]Then let's keep dancing.
[03:11.73]
[03:12.50]"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
[03:14.97]'If that's the way she feels about it
[03:17.72]why doesn't she just end it all?'
[03:20.73]Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
[03:27.97]For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
[03:32.74]when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
[03:36.63]I'll be saying to myself..."
[03:38.90]
[03:39.75]Is that all there is?
[03:43.84]Is that all there is?
[03:48.13]If that's all there is, my friends,
[03:53.05]Then let's keep dancing.
[03:58.01]Let's break out the booze
[04:00.26]And have a ball
[04:06.51]If that's all there is.
