Lyrics "At Last":
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh yeah, yeah
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 rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
You smile
You smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last

[RockinItSince]

Even before she started to sing, that orchestral sound had me ❤️

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen. 💕🧚🦋🦜🌷🌸🌼🌺☘🌹🌻🌟🧚🙏🙏

[peteadenuga]

the instrumentation on this song is DIVINE.

[rachellauryn]

her vocal control and agility is unmatched

[Onialove_]

She’s so relaxed, she’s so pleasant on key and everything her tone btw is out of this world

[chasechristopher]

I’m a hardcore Etta fan and I rarely applaud covers, but I got CHILLS listening to this gorgeous voice. What a talent!!!!

[Rebecky]

Finally, someone who didn’t over sing this beautiful song! No one sings it like Etta, but CE brilliantly kept the purity of the original masterpiece. She showed respect for the song and Etta.

[williammitchell]

Thank you Cynthia Erivo. You did right by Etta James. This song requires serious control. Also you made that gown look like it was made from precious metal.

[Mentawajrwoy]

Cynthia Erivo: "My voice is my instrument"

[osaserewizzyboo]

She's one of the best the agility and control is on point

[norhayatiabsamad]

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

Oh yeah yeah
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

Oh yeah yeah
You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine...

[februerin]

It's the hitch on "the spell was cast" for me, y'all! This woman is PHENOMENAL!!!

[chloebrwn]

my mom walked down the isle to this yesterday🤍such a beautiful song

[zyquanridges]

I’ve heard this song MANY of times, n I’ve NEVER heard it sung this way

[extra]

I get so sad knowing I can’t naturally sing this beautifully

[tamazpatarkalashvili]

The best performance of the song after Etta James

[queenfedorathemagnificent]

Her singing is excellent. Her voice sounds as pure as an instrument 🎷 plays

[darrylconrad]

If my mom was still living she would have loved this song

[aobakwemaitsha]

who dresses this woman???

you would think these songs belong to her simply for the magnificence that is her deliverance of them

[victoriavalentine]

Music doesn't sound like this.. I feel like crying. The voice the orchestra
