Lyrics & Translation

[English]

At last

My love has come along

My lonely days over

And life is like a song

Ooh At last

The skies above are blue

Well 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 could call my own

I found a thrill

To press my cheek to

A thrill that I have never known

You smile

You smile

Oh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

For you are mine at last

I found a dream

That I could 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 smile

You smile

Oh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

For you are mine at last

Ooo yea

You are mine

You are mine

At last

At last

At last

At last

...
