I remember when I was a little girl,
our house caught on fire.
as he gathered me up in his arms
and raced through the burning building
As I stood there, shivering in my pajamas,
and when it was all over,
is that all there is to the fire?
if that's all there is my prince,
then let's keep dancing, let's
Break out the booze and howl the ball
And then when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
There were clowns, elephants,
and a beautiful lady in neat tights
flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching,
but when it was all over,
Is that all there is to the circus?
If that's all there is, my friend,
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing
We were so very much in love
And then one day he just went away
Is that all there is to love?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Mmm, I know what you must
why doesn't she just end it all?
Because 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 still be saying to myself
If that's all there is, my friends
