Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lonely days are over, mmm yeah
And life, and life is like a song, ooh oh oh
At last, at last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night that I looked at you, ooh ooh
That I could speak to
A dream that I
That I could call my own
I found a thrill
A thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I've never known
Yeah!
Yeah! You smiled baby, baby, baby then the spell was cast
And here we are, here we are, here we are in Heaven
And you are mine, you are mine at last, at last
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I've never known
You smiled baby, baby, baby, baby
And then the spell was cast, cast
And here we are, here we are in Heaven
Ooh and you are mine
At last, at last, at last!
Oh, oh you're mine, at last
"At Last" is a classic love song performed by Aretha Franklin that describes finding true love after a long and difficult search. The first verse sets up the theme of the song, with the singer proclaiming that finally, after a lonely and difficult journey, her love has come along, and her lonely days are over. The second verse continues the theme, describing how the skies above are now blue and how her heart was wrapped up in clover when she discovered her love. She also compares life to a song, suggesting that love has brought melody and harmony to her existence.
The middle section of the song is where the singer describes how her dream has come true, and how she has found a thrill that she has never experienced before. She speaks about being able to call her dream her own and how she has found something to hold onto. The chorus then comes back in, with the singer repeating the line "And you are mine, you are mine at last" several times to emphasize the idea that her search for love has finally come to an end.
Ultimately, "At Last" is a beautiful song about the joy and relief of finding true love after a long time searching. Franklin's powerful vocals and emotive delivery help to emphasize the song's message of hope and love.
