is That All There Is - Peggy Lee

[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 not ready 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.
