Karaoké Is That All There Is ? Peggy Lee

I remember when

I was a 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 onto the pavement

And 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 twelve 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 all over

I said to myself is that all there is to the 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

And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world

We'd take long walks down by the river

Or just 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

If that's all there is my friends then let's keep

I know what you must be saying to yourself

If that's the way she feels about it

Why doesn't she just end it all oh no not me

I'm not ready for that final disappointment

'Cos 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
