"I remember when I was a very little girl, |
| [00:06.090] |
our house caught on fire. |
| [00:09.300] |
I'll never forget the look |
| [00:10.790] |
on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms |
| [00:14.140] |
and raced through the burning building out to the pavement. |
| [00:18.930] |
I stood there shivering in my pajamas |
| [00:21.810] |
and watched the whole world go up in flames. |
| [00:25.430] |
And when it was all over I said to myself, |
| [00:28.910] |
'Is that all there is to a fire?'" |
| [00:33.070] |
|
| [00:34.140] |
Is that all there is? |
| [00:36.420] |
|
| [00:39.010] |
Is that all there is? |
| [00:43.460] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [00:47.900] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
| [00:51.970] |
Let's break out the booze |
| [00:55.370] |
And have a ball |
| [01:01.400] |
If that's all there is. |
| [01:09.170] |
|
| [01:11.610] |
"And when I was 12 years old, |
| [01:13.780] |
my father took me to the circus, |
| [01:15.930] |
the greatest show on earth. |
| [01:18.880] |
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears |
| [01:23.610] |
and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. |
| [01:29.550] |
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, |
| [01:32.920] |
I had the feeling that something was missing. |
| [01:35.580] |
I don't know what, but when it was over |
| [01:38.970] |
I said to myself, 'Is that all there is to a circus?'" |
| [01:43.820] |
|
| [01:44.670] |
Is that all there is? |
| [01:48.840] |
Is that all there is? |
| [01:53.230] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [01:57.580] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
| [02:01.910] |
Let's break out the booze |
| [02:05.260] |
And have a ball |
| [02:11.210] |
If that's all there is. |
| [02:18.390] |
|
| [02:21.360] |
"Then I fell in love, |
| [02:23.520] |
head over heels in love with the most wonderful boy in the world. |
| [02:28.860] |
We would take long walks by the river |
| [02:32.510] |
or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. |
| [02:35.320] |
We were so very much in love. |
| [02:39.180] |
Then one day, he went away. |
| [02:42.780] |
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't. |
| [02:47.240] |
And when I didn't, I said to myself, |
| [02:50.950] |
'Is that all there is to love?'" |
| [02:54.190] |
|
| [02:54.560] |
Is that all there is? |
| [02:58.520] |
Is that all there is? |
| [03:02.950] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [03:06.950] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
| [03:09.930] |
|
| [03:10.700] |
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves. |
| [03:13.170] |
'If that's the way she feels about it |
| [03:15.920] |
why doesn't she just end it all?' |
| [03:18.930] |
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment. |
| [03:26.170] |
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, |
| [03:30.940] |
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, |
| [03:34.830] |
I'll be saying to myself..." |
| [03:37.100] |
|
| [03:37.950] |
Is that all there is? |
| [03:42.040] |
Is that all there is? |
| [03:46.330] |
If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [03:51.250] |
Then let's keep dancing. |
| [03:56.210] |
Let's break out the booze |
| [03:58.460] |
And have a ball |
| [04:04.710] |
If that's all there is. |
| [04:21.310] |
