how a house caught on fire,
as he gathered me up in his arms
and raced to the burning building
I watched the whole world
I said to myself is that all
If that's all there is, my friend
With the most wonderful girl in the world
We take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing
We were so very much in love
She went away, and I thought I'd die, but I didn't,
and when I did, I said to myself, is that all there is to love?
If that's all that is, my friends,
If that's the way he feels about it,
why doesn't he just end it all?
I'm not ready for that final
just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
that when that final moment comes,
when I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself, is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
