"AT LAST"

It's a song that's been covered by both male and female artists. Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, and many more. IMO no one did it the justice Etta James did. She recorded it in 1961. It was written by the song writing team of Gordon and Warren for the 1941 film musical, Sun Valley Serenade. How did I know all those amazing facts?, why I did very little research on the ol' Internet.

So without further ado...

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

You smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last

Ah, so sweet, romantic, and Corny. Just like me, but don't tell no'body. :-)
