“At Last” Lyrics - Etta James
One of my friends was talking about her upcoming wedding and how she and her fiance were trying to pick a good wedding song, that not many people (at least that she knew of) had used for a wedding song. Her sister suggested “At Last” by Etta James, which is probably one of my all time favorite songs.
She played the song for her husband-to-be and he agreed: That’s it!
Personally - I think the best part of the entire song is how Etta draws out the first two words… “Aaat Laaaaaaast….”

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

Brilliant choice. This is actually the song I walked down the aisle to on my special day - it couldn’t have been more perfect. Now whenever I hear it I’m taken back to that exact moment :-).

This song is one of my all time favorite songs. I can’t remember the first time I ever heard it but it stuck with me since then. I plan to make it as part of my wedding. Very romantic and classy.

Marvelous song for a wedding march! My daughter also performed a sashay down the aisle to meet her groom on Sunday July 13th 2008. Many guests were surprised but happily so. All agreed it was a perfect choice.
