Testo Is That All There Is? - Bette Midler
Testo della canzone Is That All There Is? (Bette Midler), tratta dall'album Bette Midler Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook
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 onto 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 twelve 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
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 all 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
Head over heels in love with the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks by the river or just sit for hours
Gazing, 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
Now 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
