Chorus:
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.
When you smiled, you smiled,
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven,
For you are mine, at last.
