I remember when
I was a 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 is that all there is
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 twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest Show On Earth there were clowns
And elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what but when it was all over
I said to myself is that all there is to the circus
Is that all there is
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
And 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 yourself
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
'Cos I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And I'm breathing my last breath
I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is 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
