IsThatAllThereIs

Is That All There Is? - Ann Hampton Callaway

Lyrics by：Ann Hampton Callaway

I remember when I was a little girl on Chicago

Our house caught on fire

I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he

Gathered me and my sister up in his arms and

Faced through the burning building out on 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 dancing bears

And a beautiful lady in pink

Tights flew high above our heads

And as I sat there watching around

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 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 by the lake at or

Just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes

We were so 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

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 not ready for that final disappointment

Because I know

Just as well as I'm standing here talking to you

That when that final moment comes
