At Last : Song Words to Etta James / Beyonce Song
It must have seemed like a dream wedding reception as President Obama held his wife Michelle close and modestly while they slowly moved to Beyonce's performance of "At Last."
This song was chosen as the first song to be sung for the first inaugural dance between the new President and his First Lady. The beautiful love song made famous by blues singer Etta James, in large part, because of its loving and encouraging words.
Here you will find the Lyrics to the Song "At Last" and other related information and photographs.
WOW! And did you hear that 8 Year Old on American's Got Talent Singing At Last? She is Amazing! July 2009!

Song Lyrics to At Last, Played for Barack and Michelle Obama

At Last
~ Etta James
At last
my love has come along
my lonely days 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 press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh, yeah, yeah
You smile
you smile
Ooh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
