Is That All There Is?

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 daddy took me to the 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 as 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?

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 then I fell in love

With the most wonderful boy in the world

We would take long walks by the river

Or sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes

We were so very much in love

And 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?

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

Then why doesn't she just end it all?"

Oh no, not me

I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment

'Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you

That when that final moment comes

And I'm breathing my last 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
