Is That All There Is

Is That All There Is - The Hit Co.

I remember when I was a very 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 out to the pavement.

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 12 years old, my father took me to a 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 so I sat there watching

I had the feeling that something was missing.

I don't know what, but when it was over,

I said to myself, "is that all there is to a 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

Then I fell in love,

With the most wonderful boy in the world.

We would take long walks by the river or

Just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.

We were so very much in love.

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 yourselves,

If that's the way she feels about

It why doesn't she just end it all?

Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that

Final disappointment,

For I know just as well as I'm standing

Here talking to you,

When that final moment comes and

I'm breathing my lst 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
