My Daily ♥ #144: At Last by Etta James

RIP Etta James
January 25, 1938 - January 20, 2012

At Last is one of my favourite songs of all time. I still remember the first time I heard it and I was mesmorized. The opening notes still take me back to that moment.

The inspiration for my blog title, My Life Is Like A Song came from the "life is like a song" lyric in At Last. We have lost one of the most beautiful voices ever.



Lyrics:

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
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night 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 press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, you smiled
and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last
