Lyrics Is That All There Is? - Bette Midler
"I
remember
when
I
was
a
very
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
out
to
the
pavement.
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
12
years
old,
my
father
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
the
marvelous
spectacle,
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?
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.
"Then
I
fell
in
love
with
the
most
wonderful
boy
in
the
world.
We
would
take
long
walks
by
the
river
or
just
sit
for
hours
gazing
into
each
other's
eyes.
We
were
so
very
much
in
love.
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
dancing.
"I
know
what
you
must
be
saying
to
yourselves.
'If
that's
the
way
she
feels
about
it
why
doesn't
she
just
end
it
all?'
Oh,
no.
Not
me.
I'm
in
no
hurry
for
that
final
disappointment.
For
I
know
just
as
well
as
I'm
standing
here
talking
to
you,
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.
