| [00:00.700] | "I remember when I was a little girl, |
| [00:06.207] | our house caught on fire. |
| [00:09.460] | I'll never forget the look |
| [00:10.946] | on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms, |
| [00:13.450] | and raced through the burning building out onto the pavement. |
| [00:18.698] | And I stood there shivering in my pajamas |
| [00:21.196] | and watched the whole world go up in flames. |
| [00:24.961] | And when it was all over, I said to myself, |
| [00:28.196] | 'Is that all there is to a fire?'" |
| [00:36.703] | Is that all there is? |
| [00:39.195] | Is that all there is? |
| [00:43.697] | If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [00:47.713] | then let's keep dancing. |
| [00:52.947] | Let's break out the booze, |
| [00:55.954] | And have a ball. |
| [01:01.197] | If that's all there is. |
| [01:12.700] | "And when I was 12 years old, |
| [01:14.694] | my daddy took me to the circus, |
| [01:17.445] | the greatest show on earth. |
| [01:22.704] | There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears, |
| [01:26.699] | and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. |
| [01:31.462] | And as I sat there watching, |
| [01:34.199] | I had the feeling that something was missing. |
| [01:37.704] | I don't know what, but when it was all over, |
| [01:40.701] | I said to myself, 'Is that all there is to the circus?'" |
| [01:47.445] | Is that all there is? |
| [01:50.952] | Is that all there is? |
| [01:55.702] | If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [01:59.701] | Then let's keep dancing. |
| [02:04.201] | Let's break out the booze, |
| [02:07.693] | And have a ball. |
| [02:13.198] | If that's all there is. |
| [02:23.946] | "and then I fell in love, |
| [02:26.707] | with the most wonderful boy in the world. |
| [02:29.695] | We take long walks down by the river, |
| [02:33.458] | or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. |
| [02:38.207] | We were so very much in love. |
| [02:41.200] | And then one day, he went away. |
| [02:45.708] | And I thought I'd die, but I didn't. |
| [02:49.699] | And when I didn't, I said to myself, |
| [02:53.447] | 'Is that all there is to love?'" |
| [02:56.700] | Is that all there is? |
| [03:00.457] | Is that all there is? |
| [03:04.441] | If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [03:09.191] | Then let's keep ... |
| [03:11.442] | “I know what you must be saying to yourselves. |
| [03:14.948] | 'If that's the way she feels about it, |
| [03:17.194] | why doesn't she just end it all?' |
| [03:19.942] | Oh, no. Not me. I'm not ready for that final disappointment. |
| [03:26.701] | Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, |
| [03:30.449] | and when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, |
| [03:35.708] | I'll be saying to myself..." |

| [03:42.950] | Is that all there is? |
| [03:46.954] | If that's all there is, my friends, |
| [03:51.697] | then let's keep dancing. |
