[00:02.210] "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]
