At Last
Etta James · More Music From The Breeze [2013]
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night that I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my head to
A thrill that I had never known
Ohh yeah yeah?
And you smiled,
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine....
At Last!!!
