Is that all there is?

I remember when I was a girl... my Daddy took me to the circus. «The greatest show on earth». And 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, 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 the circus?"

And then, I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world. We'd take long walks down by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. We were so very much in love and then one day he went away and I'd thought I'd die, but I didn't. And when I didn't, I said to myself: "Is that all there is to love?"

I know what you must be saying to yourselves. If that's the way she feels about it, then why doesn't she just end it all? Oh no, not me, I'm not ready for the final disappointment, cause 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 know what I'll be saying to myself.
